embeded overlay title update is different from live to VTracked playlists.

Post by moogwill »

As said in a previous topic. I use overlays to start Radionomy commercials with some 2mn edits and some hitmixs and/or cultural & weather announcement to fill those adbreaks. using the tag "Advert: - Advert"

I tried many title updates options:

Use overlay descrition or name as tag:
It works, but it updates song title for each played file, for a concrete example, overlay is made of an opener, a 2mn music file & a closer file.
send 3 title updates with the same tag (the closer file is relaunching a second adbreak right at the end of the first one)

the best solution seems to tag the main file as "Advert: - Advert" and choose track name in overlay title update option.

but when embeded in a voice tracked session, this file use as tag the overlay name and no artist.

How to make things work in both situations?

Thanks,
T.

Thanks Bernd,

(NOT "Use Embedded Container Tracks") that's the one I missed when I rebuilt my overlay scheduler.... :-/

Thanks,

The suggested solution was to NOT "Use Embedded Container Tracks" as the Streaming Option (see general settings, section 'Streaming') - so that ONLY one song title update is send in case of an embedded container.
AND set the 'Title Update' option in the overlay scheduler entry to "Use Overlay Description" - in the latest version this setting should now also be used in case the overlay is resolved as an embedded entry in a voice tracking playlist.
