News and Add blocks

Post by Bumperke »

Hello Bernd.

I have a question. If the news endes PF will first starts a record, which is then broken down in between several seconds with the advertising block. What should I do to get it right behind the news? So advertising starts without delay!

I am sorry, but I cannnot follow and understand what you are trying to say.
What is a 'record'? What is 'broken down'?

If you are talking about a News-Block and an Advert-Block; meaning 2 Overlay Entries which should 'play' together one after the other?
Then here is what you should do:
a) Enable the 'Combine Parallel Overlays' option in the general settings, section Scripts/Scheduler.
b) make your two Overlay Entries use the exact same 'Start Time' as well as the same 'Show X seconds in advance' time!
c) use the 'Prio' option to determine which overlay comes first (e.g. set the News to 0 and the Advert to 1).
