djsoft said:When you add pause via menu Playlist->Add timed pause, you can set the title your listeners will see (the "Set broadcast title" field).
If you start it from the scheduler event, change the task name to the text you want your listeners to see and set the "Send task name instead of track titles to server" option.
djsoft said:If you leave the broadcasting title empty when you insert the timed pause, it won't send the title at all. In this case people will see the previous track title while pause is being "played".
djsoft said:I think you should warn hosts about this. Just tell them not to set the broadcasting title for pause, and everything will be fine.
Do you use HTTP request to change Live365 titles? If yes, it's possible to "proxy" this request: RadioBOSS makes request to a script on your web site, and that script makes request to Live365. It can check the artist/title fields and skip requests without that info.
I remember I did posted a proxy script for live 365 in the past... and I've found this topic: http://www.djsoft.net/smf/index.php/topic,2918.msg9382.html#msg9382 we've discussed before.dashford said:We don't currently but would like to -- I just need to find someone with the scripting skills (or learn how to myself). I'm sure it's not hard to test the validity of the fields but right now we can't.
