Overlay following track scripting restrictions
Posted: 01 May 2020 10:42
Hello Bernd,
We intend to use Overlay schedule feature to randomly insert announcements and jingles, because they have to vary in frequency and selection depending of the time. Rest of the time is a single script to generate a random playlist.
Is it possible for the recurring script used as overlay to take into account the scripting restrictions defined in the tracks? The overlay script is defined to choose randomly a track from a selected library. I expect it to follow for example the Time of Day, Day of Week, Month of Year, Date Range, etc. restrictions.
Is it a bug or the wrong way to do it? Can you explain us how to configure it ?
By the way, is it possible to filter the tracks (through the expression builder) using the current time of day compared to the track scription restrictions as a condition ?
Thank you in advance. Best regards, Jonathan
