automatically play-out recorded shows at scheduled times.
automatically play-out recorded shows at scheduled times.
I'm recording shows without news, promos,etc, just the show without any broadcast processing so it's ready for rebroadcast. files are saved with programme name and date(StartAnew-2019-06-09.mp3).
How do I programme the scheduler to select the correct programme name and scheduled date for that show that play-out? Do you use LoadTrack with macros in the script like c:/music/programming/StartAnew-${yyyy}-${MM}-${dd}.mp3 ?
Also, I've enabled in the config to save .pfc files(StartAnew-2019-06-09-mp3.pfc), Do these automatically get selected if found in the directory of the selected audio file?

Re: automatically play-out recorded shows at scheduled times.
Yes to the last question.
For the rebroadcast:
You almost correct. But you should use the ${start_yyyy}, ${start_MM} and ${start_dd} macros.
The start_... macros reference the start date and time of the related scheduler program.

On second thought I don't think that will work if I want to replay a show that was recorded on a different day.
For example a show airs on Monday 4pm, and repeats on Wednesday 4pm. I assume start_ would search for a file with Wednesday's date not Monday's date.
Re: automatically play-out recorded shows at scheduled times.
In this case you can use the *[DATE:...] macro function to add or subtract a certain number of days by using the ${start} macro.
Let's assume your rebroadcast is always 2 days later (Wednesday, but originally recorded on Monday) - this mean on the Wednesday you need to subtract 2 days to get the original filename.
This can be done by the following macro:
*[DATE:{${start}}:{days}:{-2}:{yyyy-MM-dd}]
This will subtract 2 days from the ${start} value and output it in the format yyyy-MM-dd

ProppFrexx is a very versatile programme. That should do the job nicely.radio42 wrote: ↑09 Jun 2019 23:10 In this case you can use the *[DATE:...] macro function to add or subtract a certain number of days by using the ${start} macro.

I assume all I need to do is add the prefix filename StartAnew-*[DATE:{${start}}:{days}:{-2}:{yyyy-MM-dd}].mp3 ?
UPDATE: Just done a little test with yesterdays show, and works fine. Thank you so much!
