Hi,
My AUX log is very simple, I have the 5 second fade down with a STOP
transition. As its hard timed, I had to do this for every hour (and
half hour as we do weird things at the top and bottom). So I have 48
fades every day.
The important part is the log chain to reload the aux log every day.
Once an event has played Riv won't play it again until the log is
reloaded e.g. 00:59:55 on the 23rd Plays fine but if the log is not
reloaded for the 24th nothing happens at 00:59:55.
Regards,

Thanks for that input Cowboy, I was operating under the mistaken
impression that the 2-minute window was FCC-mandated. The best
reference I could find on the topic was "The Public and Broadcasting"
(last updated July 2008
http://www.fcc.gov/guides/public-and-broadcasting-july-2008 ) which
says "Stations must air identification announcements ... every hour,
as close to the start of the hour as possible, at a natural
programming break."
Alan, that's an interesting solution too. Did you define a scheduler
code for the oldies genre, create an "all oldies" event, and add a few
of that event to the end of the clock? Or is there some sort of
automatic way to force certain events to play carts less than a
certain length?
Wayne, I had a follow-up question for you. I created a cart which does
the fade down, plays the legal id, then does the fade up, and I
created a hard-timed event to play that cart at the top of the hour,
and then filled the rest of the hour with a macro cart that sleeps for
59:59, and then set up a cron job to generate that service's log every
day, and loaded it into the Aux 2 log (chaining at end of log). It
does the job just right, but I wondered if I might have missed some
automation shortcuts in the process, and I wondered if your solution
was close to this, or whether there were some tricks I was missing.
Thanks for any details you care to provide.
For anyone who was interested in Wayne's solution (At xx:59.54 I make
the aux fire a macro... ) they may be interested to read this example
of how to write these macros:
