Delete Jingle at Overlay instert

Post by csaba1986 »

What is the ,command, correct setup for that situation if I would like to delete (or skip) in the playlist the jingle (if that would be next item) if the Overlay scheduled for that time. Enough if the jingle would be deleted (skipped) when the overlay pop-up come up or insert in the playlist.
Thank you!

What you might be look for is the overlay 'Suppress Filter'.
See general settings, section 'Scripts/Scheduler' in the Overlay and Advert group.

In the 'Suppress Filter' select all the media entry types which should be ejected/suppressed within the current playlist when an overlay is about to start.
This allows you to prevent, that these media types are played either directly before or after the overlay.

Note: This function is only in effect, if an Overlay has the 'ApplySuppressFilter' option set (which is an option in the Overlay Editor) as well as if this option is set!

If enabled the Overlay-Player will eject any tracks) matching the defined suppress filter media types which are currently loaded to any (not playing) DJ Players. This effectively happens two times:
a) once the Overlay is shown (and waiting) - to eject upcoming tracks before the overlay starts to play
b) once the Overlay started its play out - to eject subsequent tracks following the overlay play out

I guess this feature might be well used instead of any extra script rules.
