To filter tracks, the playlist generator searches the "comment" field for the words specified in the "Filter by comment field" (see picture below).

For example, you have a set of tracks (to make it simple, we take a music library of 10 tracks):
Track1, Track2, ..., Track10.
You need Track1, Track2, Track3 and Track4  to be played at morning,
Track3, Track4, Track5 and Track6 to be played during the day and
Track6, Track7...Track10 to be played at the evening.

You set the "comment" field of:
Track1 and Track2 to "morning".
Track3 and Track4 to "morning day" (i.e. we have two words "morning" and "day" in the comment field).
Track5 will have comment "day"
Track6 - "day evening"
and Tracks7, Track8, Track9, Track10 - "evening".

So, to filter tracks for morning, you should use these settings:

Ah ok. The problem was I had to restart the pc after reinstall the sofware. Its working now but now I found a new problem that when you create a playlist by playlist generator the player doesnt play the jingles.
What can be the reason for this. And the the point that I couldnt understand is how I will aplly the playlist that created by playlist manager to the on air pc.

It's simple. You set up the settings and save the preset in the Playlist Generator (say, you name it "test1").
In player, you add new scheduler task and make it execute a command "generate test1" - it'll generate a new playlist and load it to player.

Details are in the attached pictures.

Ok. But when I set playlist by playlist manager it doesnt play jingles...Is it a problem by software or its a problem by me?

About jingles, does player report any error (in the left bottom box) about why the jingle can't be played?

If you created a jingle playlist correctly (the jingle playlist is specified in the "Step 4") the player will play it without any problem...

It says 'unable to play Error Code-2 can not open the file...
I added a jingle playlist at step for but it doesnt play them

[djsoft]

I just tried to create playlist with jingles and it generated and played successfully.

Most likely, your playlist is incorrect.
What happens if you open the jingle playlist directly in the player and try to play it?
It's also a good idea to create a new jingle playlist in the RadioBOSS.

I set the same jingle files to number 1-9 the quick jingle list and they play at there. As you told I played the jinges playlist on player and its not played by player.
When I through the jingles from file to player its play but when I save as a playlist it doesnt work
Actually when I use the delete nonexistence files it deletes the jingle files that that means its doesnt see the jingle files. Also Im noticed that u are using the older verison of RadioBoss software.  Mine is 4.0.2.426

[djsoft]

That's very strange. Could you please send us jingles and playlist you created to address support@djsoft.net so we could see what the problem is.

[radyofog]

Ok Im sendig

[radyofog]

Also Im noticed that u are using the older verison of RadioBoss software.  Mine is 4.0.2.426

[djsoft]

Yes, got the files. We need some time to look into it.
About version - it doesn't really matter in our case.

[radyofog]
