I've done a dump of the database and taken a look at the actual top of the hour as created in the event creator and scheduled by the log manager when the logs from Selector are imported and this is what I see as the string for the top of each hour:
204741,322,'WUUU_2010_12_16',1017,700000,23,'TOP OF THE HOUR LEGAL','','','','','',0,'','wuuu','2010-12-16 23:59:58','23:59:58',3,3,1,4,'N','00:00:00',0,'','','','' Now if I could just figure out how to extrapolate the time markers out of this and place them into the Selector program as a breaknote I'd be good as gold. Anybody have any suggestions? All I need is an example of the proper string that I can base each hour on that would be recognized by Rivendell's import function.
