Event Scheduler : Inverse Waiting Options to insert the event XXminutes earlier than scheduled if it's possible

[Altec]

Hi Dmitriy,

There is this very useful option in the Event Scheduler :

Could it possible to add the same option but to allow Scheduler launching the event earlier and define an amount of Seconds or minute where the Sheduled event could be allowed to start earlier.

Example :

You configured an event to start at 9:11am and you don't want to cut the Song actually playing, the song end is at 9:10:40 and to avoid the next song to be launched, it could be useful to allow sheduler to insert the Event at 9:10:40 by an option like screened in my post.

ex : "Maximum time set for starting the task earlier"

Best

I think the event start time is sufficient on its own.

If your goal is to start an event at 9:11 AM and you allow it to start 20 seconds earlier, it's best to schedule the event for 9:10:40 AM.

You're including your grace period in the event start time.
The wait time option is useful for suppressing or forcing the start of your event.
This way, your event can start within a timeframe that seems acceptable to you (or be suppressed after a certain delay).
