Arron,
You will find that When you Schedule Music with the rivenell Music
Scheduler it will pick songs at random with different Tenths. you have
to Refine you log by Looking at when Your run it live and Adjust your
times with songs by adding or subtracting songs with different lengths
to get you your desired break times. On lengths you Us A music
scheduling system like Powergold Music master,Natural Music Play list
creator. They will have closer times.We used a schedule but because of
our budget no longer use one. We now do it Manually it takes a little
time but we get better results.
You can also schedule your break on Hard time and it will play you
breaks close to the time you want them to go.

Hi,
I reference to a previous post
(http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/pipermail/rivendell-dev/2020-January/028460.html)
I am still having issues with a Rivendell installation stopping
playout.
I think I have isolated the random stoppages down to timed events
where there is a wait time but where the log is running late and there
is an additional event between the late-running event and the
scheduled event.
Here is an example I observed just now:
In my 23:00 hour log I have a number of timed events including one
timed event (a song picked by RDLogManager) scheduled for 23:37:10.
The event is setup to wait up to 3 minutes if another piece of audio
is playing (I don't know why the PD has done it this way but he has).
When it comes to running the log a song began at 23:34:46. Between
this song (which was actually scheduled for 23:33:50 - no timed start)
and my timed event due to start at 23:37:10 is a 2 second jingle
(scheduled for 23:37:08 - again not timed). The song which started at
23:34:46 doesn't end up finishing until 23:38:02 - this is of course
fine as although 23:37:10 was timed to start, it was set to wait for
three minutes. So RDAirPlay then plays the 2 second jingle and begins
the 23:37:10 song at 23:38:12 - all good.
However when we hit 23:40:10 (three minutes from after the scheduled
time) RDAirPlay attempts to play the song again. It is already
playing so you get an audible glitch and playout stops entirely with
RDAirPlay ignoring future timed starts despite the system being on
Auto.
This is what it looks like in the log (The 23:37:10 song is Cart
400537) - notice the entries at 23:38:12 and 23:40:10 - it is trying
to run the same log line twice.

I think what is happening here is a bug with the timer. Presumably
when we hit 23:37:10 RDAirPlay knows a timed event should be starting
but knows it can wait for up to 3 minutes before it's forced to start
it. It starts a timer for three minutes. Before that timer ends, the
audio starts playing (in this case 1 min and 2 seconds late) but the
timer is *not* cancelled therefore come 23:40:10 the timer kicks in
and tells RDAirPlay to play the event it is already playing and it
fails ungracefully!
Bug or feature?
