How to revert to old nightbot?

I am not happy with that constant song skipping- let me explane:

My system is a 2 Computers rig- a Streamer and a Gamer PC.
with the old bot - i could start the list of the song requests on the streamer pc wait a few seconds and then (that i can listen to the music to) start the same list on the gamer pc. One song after the other would play on both computers, delayed on one but done. if i had one playlist and wouldn't remix it on purpose both computer would have the same playlist of pre saved songs....

Now here is my problem with the new bot - when I start the streamer pc and afterwards the gamer pc - my songs will cut and skip to the next song , when the song on the streamer pc has finished that song. whilst it is skipping to the next song and the message comes - cant be played - the gamer computer comes ahead of the streamer computer and it will cut and skip songs my viewers put in and both of the open bot windows would argue with eachother since they don't have same playlist of pre saved songs.
I didnt have this problem with the old bot.

If somebody says now then put your headset on the streamer computer,. due to other programs i simply can't.

So how can I revert to this "old" system ?

I asked before but the devs refuse to even give us the option, now nightbot is broken badly no longer efficient, commands are broken, I just dont understand why they are going with something thats now broken instead of something that worked and was far more efficient.
But the devs said they will be remaining with the new broken version 😢

Thanks for the feedback, but it is no longer possible to use the old Nightbot website.

With respect to how you are using Song Requests, it was never designed or built (on both the old and new sites) for multiple song request pages to be operating at one time. If it ever worked in any capacity, then that is surprising since the pages will fight with one another in certain situations for what track is playing next.

We are open to constructive feedback/suggestions on the new website, if you have any. For example, asking for us to build a "view only" mode for this page so that you can have a main session controlling it as well as a secondary session following along.

These kinds of comments are not productive nor conducive to the desired environment. In general, reception to the changes have been pretty well received and we've resolved most issues folks have been reporting. If you are still having specific issues, we encourage you to make separate posts detailing each of them so that we can diagnose and resolve them in a timely manner.

Yes it worked, since the old bot let the music play out, there was a the "leading list" and the and the secondary. But since they both had the same songs in it, it wasnt that big of a deal. with that "new skipping stuff" what is since the last 3 weeks it drives me nuts.

And thank you for an answer finally:
--> revert not possible.<--

@Lucid Snake here you got your answer.

@night beating around the bush with just answering around a subject doesnt help either, in case of Mossup post. If you had written there its not possible anymore to revert to the old one I wouldnt have bothered you for the same question at all and had skipped to :

Well how can I now conquer that problem, with a 2 computer rig. Problem : song skipping?

Other programs have a master and remote option (vatsim for example)

Something possible like the "masterlist" and for the other computer a "player only option" via the fancy app?
