Play track if random jingle is played
Play track if random jingle is played
Hi
I am trying to ensure that if a 'new music' jingle is played (line 2), the next song (after the jingle has played) is a random song selected from my 'new music library' (line 3).
However I cannot seem to figure out how to do this where the exec mode is random.
Can you advise?
Screenshot of the script I'm working with is attached.
Kind regards

Re: Play track if random jingle is played
Your script mode is set to 'Random', i.e. the script-line to be executed is selected randomly. In this mode, it can of course not guaranteed, that after line 2 the next line will be 3.
You need to change this mode to 'Sequential', which is even the default. Only this mode ensures, that after line 2, line 3 will follow.
I also noticed, that you are using a script jingle library to randomly add jingles every so often. This might actually insert such a jingle between line 2 and 3 (which I guess is not wanted).
So I created a new v4.3.3.10.
This adds a new 'IsolateAdvertsAndJingles' script option: The script based Adverts and Jingles are not immediately checked after each line, but only if this was not a Cartwall or Advert entry resp. only at the end of a LoadPlaylist, Execute and LoadFolder block (and not after each line).
