shorter file is output to your dropbox

RD Catch loads the short version and you're where you want to be.

Hi Robert your notes or copy of script you are using would be good, its a shame you can not use a hidden micro within the cart to time the play length would possibly be good too, I am trying to keep all within one cart as we have a lot of live shows if all had fixed times in automation we could use hard event markers instead but cutting the length via a script should work fine hopefully.
Thanks for replying

The forced length feature will not produce this result.

I have notes on this somewhere

Hi Guys,

We are downloading NPR news each day for rebroadcasting by ftp via RDCatch, the file is a 5 min news file with a pause at 3 mins if you wish to only take the 3 min part we can download the cart at 5 mins and manually edit it to 3 mins but really needs to be done automatically so far we have tried

rdlibray npr cart

Click enforce Lenth
change Forced Lenth to 2.59.1


result

Just ignores forced length although shows cart as 2.59.1 in log.

also tried to use threshold settings but as so many dips its not stable enough.

Most other Broadcasters have different length news files but out listeners want NPR as there news service so looking for any ways that you may have got around this problem or could be a bug in forced length in carts.

Thanks

Les
