Ramp indicator in cartwall button
Hi Bernd,
Would it possible to get some kind of ramp indicator in the cartwall? So if an item is playing which has a ramp you don't only see the countdown to the end of the item but also the countdown to the ramp. Or, maybe, combine it. So:
- No ramp set -> countdown to 'next' cue
- ramp set -> first countdown to ramp, after that countdown to 'next' cue.
But that's just an idea. I guess you can come up with something better, as always
Best regards,
André

Hi Andre,
I am afraid, that there is currently no space in a cart to display that.
Can you explain why you would need that? As normally for Jingles/Sweepers etc. you don't care about an intro/ramp.
For full control you might use the StandbyPlayers - or why isn't that an option?

Hi Bernd
Space is indeed limited, I know. Situations, where you might be able to use it, are jingles with a ramp (so, 10s intro and tag), or a donut. But yes, you can use the standby players for this, you're right. But using carts with i.e an X-Keys is rather nice.
In that case, jocks just need to remember the jingles by heart instead of looking at a countdown to a ramp

I'll see, maybe your 2nd option with the flipping countdown is an option...

Added to v4.0.1.8 !
When a Ramp is set the countdown first shows 'R-00:00' til the Ramp time and then counts down to the real end.
