Hi Ever So Helpful Host!
I have completed one week now of scheduling and run for 7 days continually with almost no glitches. I have found work arounds a few things like scheduling streams to start a few seconds earlier then queue to prevent silence detector kicking in and I am so happy with the software - will be recommending it.
Now I have two query regarding Ad Scheduling.
Firstly:
I use Radio Works to generate my ad schedule. They can provide a daily export in M3U format for your software to import but want to know exactly the format that it would need to be in to integrate and auto schedule. If you can give this info I would be most grateful... Would one file be ok that I can import every day?
The other query is that when using the scheduler BETA I am finding that if I add an advert they are duplicating. For example yesterday I added 3 ads to the list and scheduled them to play at 10.20 on one day (ending the next day as it was a test) I then noticed after running it on the schedule list there was more than one ad break scheduled. When I looked at the times it had randomly scheduled the same ad break 2 or 3 times at random times later in the day (for example 22:50, 23:10 etc). I had to untick them to remove them... there is no aparent reason why! ???
I presume this is a bug but do we have a work around because otherwise it creates a lot of work.
I am happy to manually schedule ads using the report from RW if there is no way of importing one file a day form them (although I hope there is a way) but in the meantime this random insertion is causing a headache.
Many thanks
Steve
