I have an event at the top of the hour which is set 'Use Scheduled Time' and 'Make Next' which bumps the three or four over fill songs scheduled at :55 :56 :57 :58. Yes you can schedule an event every minute with material in it longer then that. The clock is a guide not a micrometer.
Works like clock work :) For hours that must start 'Right on Time' I have a series of fill tracks that run from :57:00 to :59:55 scheduled 'Make Next" at 5 second intervals. Bit of a mish to set up, but it works really well, and we have a collection if tracks that time out perfectly. OK sometimes there's a second or 2 silence before the news but most tracks have a fade out and we can live with the slop. regards Robert Jeffares Big Valley Radio The Wireless Station On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 8:14 PM, Paul Hayton <[email protected]> wrote: > How can I externally schedule timed events into a music log? > > > > Or should I be looking at an hour clock that combines a couple of events > that load the external music log either side of a timed event late in the > hour? > > > > Ideally I want to include a ‘make next’ event around 58:30 in the hour to > drop any overfilled music > > > > At present I have followed Fred’s wiki advice and have an hour clock with > one event in it that contains an import from music setting with > first/imported carts set to ‘segue’ > > > > The event is programmed in the hr clock to run from 00:00 to 59:59 > > > > All is good, music fills the hour but at this point no timed events... > > > > I did move the timing of the import music event back to 57:59 and added a > ‘make next’ timed event at 58:00 followed by another ‘import music’ event > from 58:01 to 59:59 > > > > I found when the music logs imported that if music was scheduled to start > after 58:01 it was placed after the ‘make next’ event – not ideal. > > > > Perhaps I should have a ‘make next’ set early at the start of each hour > (00:05) and then fill the rest of the hour with music etc? > > > > Separately (but related) I’m interested to learn more about the ‘post import > carts’ and ‘import inline traffic with the..’ options in the edit event > screen – I’m wondering if that could be a way forward to schedule timed > events? > > > > I’d also appreciate info about the ‘edit service’ section where music data > imports are configured. > > > > Whilst I have a music log importing I am not using ‘contract #’ ‘event ID’ > or ‘Annc.
