Playlist Look Ahead
Playlist Look Ahead
Hi Bernd
When I use the scheduler control and Script I have a playlist in the presence of a jingle Dj Show, which together have 120 min.
In the program I selected playlist to look ahead 20 tracks.
After reading the script I repeated several times set playlist.
How to set up that it was only once in the playlist?
Thank you for your answer
Marian

Re: Playlist Look Ahead
If I understand you correctly, you want, that the above 'Script' is only logically executed once.
Note, that a script is 'looped' if it reached the end.
Meaning, when the Scheduler executes a Program, a new playlist window is opened and the Script assigned to the Propgram is now assigned to that Playlist.
As such, the Playlist will actually trigger the execution of the related Script.
As you have defined the 'Look Ahead' option to 20, this means, that initially the Playlist wants to 'have' 20 playlist entries.
As such the Script is executed up until these 20 entries are available.
Your Script now 'only' contains your effective script-line 1 to 5.
Meaning after all these script-lines have been executed for the first time - this would only result in 5 playlist entries...so the Playlist would 'ask' for another 15 entries...as such the Script is 'looped' from the beginning (resp. the defined 'LoopLine' value of the Script).
To overcome this, please do the following:
1) add an additional script-line (line #6 in your case) to your Script, e.g. add
6. Random, SomeMediaLib, Count=1
2) Now set the 'Loop Line' parameter of your Script to '6' !
This will ensure, that the script-lines 1 - 5 are only executed once and are not looped.
