Script Transitions
Posted: 07 Sep 2020 04:37
Hi Bernd,
Purchased a new computer and back at it. All scripts are built and now testing with the scheduler. I have noticed 2 issues that i'm unsure how to fix.
1. The next scheduled script starts 4 minutes early most times despite another 4 minute or less song left in the previous script. How do I control this? I don't see how to at the script level and not sure how in the general settings.
Desired result: Want scripts to finish as close to the top of hour as possible and willing to let it run 1 minute short/long before the next script would force fade the track playing and start the new script.
2. Regarding commercials, I notice that each stopset is loading two times in the playlist.
Conditions:
a. I have the stopsets scheduled in the script at :21 & :54. Those script lines are set to MODE: Advert, Entry: 00 21 STOPSET (which is selected from the created slots).
b. In the overlay scheduler, for all scheduled stopsets created, I checked the option "AsPlaylistInsert". I was thinking that this would load the commercials into the playlist INSTEAD of the upcoming overlays (which it appears it did), however also in the playlist is a container i guess from the overlay with the same commercial. I believe it was marked Suppress Overlay.
Desired Result: Want the commercials for each stopset to show in the playlist but not in duplicate.
Thank you for your help with these issues.
