Hello,

Yeah sorry, obviously english is not my mother language, and I'm not
using the correct words.
So here is the thing :

I have cart n°130001 which is set as the "Default now" and "Default
next" for my RDAirplay in the "Now & Next parameters". Its artist and
title are set to "__STOP__". That's a string that I assume pretty
unique, and unlikely to be found in a real music cart.
I have music carts in a group (MUSIC) where "transmit now & next data"
is ON.
I have jingle carts in a group (JINGLES) where it is set to OFF.

Now here is my log, and what is being sent with rlm_udp :

    MUSIC -> music title
    MUSIC -> music title
    JINGLE -> default cart metadata
    MUSIC -> music title
    MUSIC -> music title


That is expected, everything works fine ! Note though, that default cart
metadata is sent *even if the log machine is still in play state*
(during jingle playout), so that's a bit different from what you are saying.

Now, another log :

    MUSIC -> music title
    MUSIC -> music title
    JINGLE -> default cart metadata
    JINGLE // nothing is sent
    MUSIC -> music title
    MUSIC -> music title


So far, it seems that this is what you expect. Now, would there be a way
to make RDAirplay send default cart metadata during my second jingle ?

Maybe I'm not using it correctly, so I expect things from it that can't
be done, or it wasn't made to be used like that. If it's the case, how
could I achieve what I seek anyway ?

Thanks !

    Hoggins!
