I have set a program to expire tonight and instructed the presenter to let the "invalid cart" play anyway to see what happens. They had been dumping them when they see invalid cart. I suspect that if it tries to play what it thhought was an invalid cart at midnight when it loaded, but it now has a valid cut (put in by rdcatch after midnight) that it will play the cut. Am I thinking wrong here? My reasoning is that they show up invalid in the log on monday but I check in RDlibrary and it says it played. I also just ran a playout report and it says that programs before the first airshift played.
So I think we have an operator problem not a software problem. Would be nice if someone could tell me wether auto refresh log setting would detect the valid cuts and not have the carts show as invalid, which freaks the presenters out. Apparently when an invalid cart with a timed start(Make Next) plays it will cut of the song thats playing at the time it is scheduled, ignoring the make next instruction. I heard it do this this morning because we do have one truly invalid cart....Is that a bug? Nathaniel C.
