KeepStreamAlive' and 'KeepStreamLoading
Hi.
What is the difference between 'KeepStreamAlive' and 'KeepStreamLoading'?
I've used both options when playing a stream onair, and it worked perfect for two hours. But when a new program was scheduled to start, the stream kept running, and the new hour didn't start.
Maybe I need to uncheck one option?
Thanks

Re: KeepStreamAlive' and 'KeepStreamLoading
Uncheck the KeepStreamLoading option, as this prevents it from being unloaded. The Alive option just keeps the stream alive in case it got disconnected from the server, so that it reconnects.

Re: KeepStreamAlive' and 'KeepStreamLoading
Ok, now I'm only using the 'KeepStreamLoading' option for playing the 2-hour stream.
But the new program still doesn't start at 18.59:45. The first items for the new program is loaded in the DJ Players, but it never starts - the stream just keeps playing. The new program is scheduled to start just as any other hour at our station, with a TimeUpdateSync.
I'm running the .23 version
Thanks.

Re: KeepStreamAlive' and 'KeepStreamLoading
Can you please show me a screenshot of your new program scheduler entry to take a look at to try to replicate it here on my side, as so far I cannot reproduce that here.
Plus, how are you scheduling the URL stream, is that via a previous program's script? If yes, can you also post that related script-line (e.g. have you defined a length for your stream?).

Re: KeepStreamAlive' and 'KeepStreamLoading
I guess I now see the issue. It is however NOT related to the KeepStreamAlive or KeepStreamLoading options.
You are probably using a SoftTimeUpdateSync with your next program?
If yes, please try a FixedTimeUpdateSync when using a URL stream before. A URL stream would currently be always fully played out when using a SoftTimeUpdateSync with a next program - which is indeed not totally correct.
I will adjust this in the next version!

Re: KeepStreamAlive' and 'KeepStreamLoading
More options in the script line, not visible in the screenshot:
SuspressHistoryCheck
SuspressAddHistory
Duration is set by PF to 23.59:59
I cannot set an exact length, as I don't know when the program starts (due to news, commercials and so on)

Re: KeepStreamAlive' and 'KeepStreamLoading
Let's hope the issue is with the long duration. I've set the duration to 2 hours - let's see what happens next time we have the show.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
Re: KeepStreamAlive' and 'KeepStreamLoading
Unfortunately I cannot see your stream script-line. Especially what options you used with it, eg. did you specify a length/duration?
If not please do that, as already explained.

Re: KeepStreamAlive' and 'KeepStreamLoading
But that is 25h.
Maybe you should set it to something almost correct plus a bit of overhead, but not to a full day.
Anyhow, as said, with a SoftYUS I can reproduce your issue, but not with a FixedTUS and a reasonable duration.
