Hello all,
We recently added the option to "button start" from the mixer, but now the
following challenge appears: while making live radio, the DJ's often uses
"manual", but sometimes want to play songs with a jingle in between in
"automatic". But, if the channel is not "started", no sound will be heard. And
if you start the channel, the next in line just starts playing.
Yes, there are ways to "hack" this, for example by playing a short file with
the fader down and leave it started, but most of our elderly DJ's are not fast
enough to find something like that, they just play the playlist they're
presented.
And yes, by paying close attention to not just "stop" your channel this is also
possible, but that's not the question.
I figured out to ask for two possibilities:
Is it possible to let all audio stick to the active channel when switched to
"automatic"? Or,
Is it possible to bypass the button-start command when switched to "automatic"?
FYI: we use several virtual machines for Rivendell. There's RDNONSTOP, which
does non-stop playout and decides at what times the mixer in studio 1 is
allowed on-air (we're working on studio 2) and the non-stop stops playing.
There are only 4 people allowed to acces RDNONSTOP.
Then there's RDSTUDIO1, which is used for playout on the studio 1 mixer at any
time (I use it to record my show during non-stop hours). Every user is allowed
to acces RDSTUDIO1, because we managed to make it quite idiot-proof. RDSTUDIO1
is connected to the mixer and has button start. This is the machine that has to
get modified for the challenge we ran into.
Thanks for thinking with me!
Sincerely,
