Top Hour in FixTime Elements

Post by Quentin D »

Hello,
I use FTE to schedule top hours in a 3 hour show. I don't want the first jingle at the beginning so I checked "Skip at start". But when the next show starts, I would like to skip the last jingle. Is there a way to skip it, like a "Skip at end" option?

Currently not, except you define the FTEs accordingly per script, meaning individually.

That's what I do, the FTE are defined in the script. But in the following program I don't use FTE.

If you only want individual jingles, as in your case only one within 3 hours, an FTE wouldn't really work.
You might consider using an Overlay Scheduler Entry with the AsPlaylistInsert option.

I would like to set jingles depending only in this slot, that's why I've set them in the script. But i'll check your option, thanks for the tip.

Hi Quentin,

I just released a new v4.0.0.19-beta beta (so “Check for Beta-Versions…”).
This contains a new FTE option 'Skip Last' - as you requested initially ('Skip at Start' was therefore renamed to 'Skip First').
It uses the related program end time (which runs the script) and suppresses the last FTE in the last hour.
