Ad duration

[tomimatko]

Since the duration of ads is important to us at the radio station - as they are also billed based on length - I suggest adding a column for ad duration in the Ads Scheduler.

That’s an excellent idea. Maybe the issue is that a single ad can contain more than one track, so that column could show min and max.
If there’s only one track, then it would just display the same value.

Thank you for the suggestion, noted for the future versions.

One question regarding multiple ads: if there are multiple tracks in Ads properties, will all of them play (of course, if there are enough slots), or is it more like pure randomness (some might play multiple times, some not at all)?
I haven't used this feature before, so I'm asking. If they all are broadcasted, do they play in order or randomly?

If it's multiple ads, maybe all durations could be shown in the column, separated by commas.

Or more simply, because of multiple ads, add a column for duration in the ads properties.
