I do something similar with my setup, retrieving ABC News from their online feed and having it picked up by a dropbox. I created an event in my clocks for hours when news airs to play the cart the same way the tutorials show to do a legal ID. Edit Events, Add, call it "NEWS." Use Hard Start Time, Make Next. Pre import the cart number you are dropping news into. Import None. Post Import empty. Now go into your clock. Say you have news at :25 and :55 after the hour. You will want music events ending at :25 and :50, with news events immediately following them. The first natural break in the music (or after your break event if you play it following spots), it will schedule the news. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
