Automatically remove tracks that cross the Hour Marker

[eLEn]

Hello,


I am using RadioBOSS 7.2 and I have a question regarding Hour Markers.


Example:

• A track starts at 09:56:31
• Track duration is 04:24
• Therefore it ends at approximately 10:00:55
• I have an Hour Marker at 10:00

Currently RadioBOSS allows the track to play past the Hour Marker and the next track starts at about 10:00:52.


My question:


Is there a way to make RadioBOSS automatically remove or skip tracks that would cross an Hour Marker, so that playback reaches the Hour Marker exactly at 10:00:00?


I would like RadioBOSS to automatically keep only tracks that fit before the Hour Marker, without manually editing the playlist.


Is this possible with Playlist Generator, Scheduler, Rotation Playlist, or does it require scripting?


Thank you.

What should it do once it reaches the 10:00:00 mark, stop playback? It will result in silence in this case.

Thank you for your reply.


I don't want RadioBOSS to stop playback or create silence.

My goal is for RadioBOSS to automatically select only those tracks that fit before the 10:00 Hour Marker.

In the example, the track starting at 09:56:31 with a duration of 04:24 would end at approximately 10:00:55, so I would prefer RadioBOSS not to schedule that track at all.

Instead, it could select a shorter track, a jingle, or leave enough time for the next scheduled event at exactly 10:00:00.

Is there a built-in way to make the Playlist Generator or Rotation Playlist respect Hour Markers and avoid scheduling tracks that cross them?
