Repeatable Jukebox Glitch

When using playlists with the Play on Load feature for a page, the playlist does not seem to un-load when I move to another page. Some of my pages have a single song being played, and then other pages have playlists of either random or multple sounds streaming at once. This causes the playlists to not play when called again by Play on Load. There's an easy work around, I can manually close the playlists before moving to another page. But this does make the whole feature a little less useful for switching easily between different sounds. I do feel like this was just a missed oversight though. If the playlists closed before loading a page that has another Play on Load this would be solved.If the Play on Load calls the same playlist, it should just remain untouched. The jukebox works this way when you Play on Load individual songs, but this glitch only happens when selecting a Playlist in Play on Load. Woops :)
Image is another example of what the glitch looks like when I Play on Load a playlist of sounds then move to another page containing a Play on Load for another playlist, and then move to a third page calling a single sound rather than a playlist. The playlists remain in the "Now Playing" queue, but stop making noise. The new sound is loaded correctly. When trying to return to a page that has the same "Play on Load" playlist that was called before, it will stay like this and fail to play the playlist that was called for. I am responding to my own to add this discovery: I found out if I load a page that has a playlist and the sounds play correctly: And then  I load a page that calls the playlist "Outside sounds" after this, the glitch still occurs: The page settings for this glitch to occur look like this: And the playlist itself looks like this: Anyway just wanted to post this in case it helps clarify the issue. Also to be clear, this glitch is happening with ANY playlist I try to Play on Load, not just this specific one. Another playlist I'm trying to use this feature with has a shuffle state, so I'm certain it's not a problem with the Simulplay playlist type. Hope this helps it be more clear.
