Prevent VoiceTracking on non-existing playlists.
Posted: 15 Jan 2023 19:01
Hi Bernd,
We have a script that loads in a *.pfp playlist every hour. We are using an external log program and import those logs using the ProppFrexx Auto importer. The problem is that we only generate playlists once a week, so there may be future entries that are non existing. At the end of the script there is a loop-line to add songs, in case something went wrong and the scheduled songs are not enough to fill the hour.
When a VoiceTracker requests a playlist in the future, which does not have any playlist imported/generated yet, the random fill songs are used to generate a playlist file. We don't want this, as it causes issues with some of our services and makes the playlist contain songs that should not be in rotation.
Is there a way to modify the script or the program to prevent VoiceTrackers from generating a playlist template when the playlist in the first script-line does not exist?
