HOW TO: Schedule a Line Input with news every hour on the hour

Hello,

We have a satellite feed of hourly news with an analog audio output and wish to schedule it with RadioBOSS.

How do we do that ?

We have tried > Playlist > Add LINE.IN and that works if we are sitting in front of RadioBOSS.

We have tried creating a Schedule entry using the command <SYSTEM> - LINE INPUT but it flicks up on the screen and nothing happens.

Have we done something wrong ?


Thanks, Jamie C.
 
No, it doesn't work for line.in, only for network streams.
But, you can add another command, like, "next" to go to the next track in playlist when you don't need to play line.in anymore...
 
I'm trying to follow this conversation as it applies to something we are trying to do. Clarification would be appreciated.

Here is what we are looking to do:

We want to pull shuffled files from our playlist during the non-live hours.

At 8:00 AM I want the playlist to be stopped and I want to automatically switch to line input.
At 8:57 AM I want to have commercials run for three minutes.
At 9:00 AM I want to return to line input.
At 9:57 AM I want to have commercials run for three minutes.
At 10:00 AM I want to play a specific file.

Everything else I need to do is a version of the above. Can I specifically do all of these things and if so how would I do them?

Thank you in advance.
 
1) Schedule "line.in" to play at 8AM, set the repeat feature to "60 minutes no more than 1 times". Also check the "Clear playlist" option.
2) Schedule commercials at 8.57... If the same commercials should play at 9.57 too, you can turn on the "Repeat" feature and set period to 60 minutes.
3) If you didn't use the "Repeat" at previous step, create another event to play at 9.57 AM for commercials.
4) Add another event to play a specific file @ 10 AM.

In the next version there will be new options to scheduler events added which will allow to do some things easier.
