Advert Scheduler Bug? RB 5.9.0.9

[Chris Deacon]

When I select an ad to play at a single time on one day,and then create the playlists and events, the scheduler adds a whole pile of  playlist events throughout the week.  This does not seem to be right....  I deleted these from the advert file, rebooted and started again.  Now when I add advertisements to the schedule, my ads dont come up with the correct tracks in the playlist.  The advert scheduler appears to be unstable.....(win10)

Please make sure the "Create playlists for empty blocks" is disabled in advert scheduler settings. If it's enabled, it will create a playlist and event for every possible advert block defined in Settings->Ad blocks.

Now when I add advertisements to the schedule, my ads dont come up with the correct tracks in the playlist.

This does not seem right, but I don't think it has something to do with ads scheduler. Please check advert tracks settings in the Ads Scheduler and update playlists/events.

Thank you - there is no bug!  The empty blocks were loading with multiple instances of the ads.
There was also a track stuck in the intro field of the advert block setup which kept coming up (as it should!)

Now I know how this works!
