RadioBOSS 7.0 [beta]

When I manually insert a tracklist and select a file randomly, shouldn't it continue to play random tracks when I select run now? Is it meant to play only a single track?
Track List plays only one track: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/using_track_list.htm
If you need it to continue playing, enable the Repeat Playlist option. This way, you can build a rotation using Track List items.

I notice that English is the only language for certain Playlist Generator windows even if the translations were made in the "lang.ini" file.
Thank you, this will be fixed in the next update.

Have to say this has been the best Radioboss version I have used yet, No hardware or software issues and I love it! I just hope to get a decent price on the upgrade as the beta key expires (because I forgot my registered key) :)
You can access the customer area to get/restore your key: https://www.djsoft.net/customer/
Please contact support@djsoft.net if you're interested in a discount.
 
Please, could you tell me why the "star earlier to make it end at start time" function does not work for me with the add a track from a playlist/folder command.
It only works with regular files or playlists, special items like Track List or selecting track from a folder, are not processed.

What I want to achieve is for a song to play before the scheduled time and end at the specified time so that another event also scheduled at the same time is loaded and played.
Looks like you should use the Sweeper feature: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/sweepers.htm
 
"Hello.

As an amateur, I did not test many features in the RadioBOSS 7.0 version, because I simply do not need to use them on a daily basis.
However, I noticed a few things.
I will also add that I use this application with the help of the NVDA screen reader and speech synthesis, so I have the Accessibility function enabled.

1: I really like the improvement of the accessibility of various sliders.
Now it is known which slider corresponds to which function and the values are also read correctly.

2: On a daily basis, I do not use the playlist generator or the advertising schedule, but out of curiosity I decided to look at these functions and noticed some encoding error, which causes the Polish diacritical marks used in some commands to be displayed incorrectly or more precisely read incorrectly by the speech synthesis.

3: A funny translation flaw probably still from version 6.3:
In the settings in the Transmission section there are 3 buttons for adding, editing or deleting server addresses, which I connect to in order to broadcast the show.
While the buttons: "Add" and "Edit" are read in English, the "Delete" button is translated into Polish.
It would be good to translate the labels of the other buttons as well, although it is not particularly troublesome when they are not translated.

4: Suggestion:
I suggest the possibility of automatic start of recording the stream along with the start of the playlist.
Thanks to this, the start time of the recorded file would be equal to the start time of the show and the next elements in the image file .cue would also be correctly indexed, and the show would be recorded from the very beginning.".
 
Changes
  • Fixed: sometimes played tracks were not removed from the playlist in Queue mode
  • Other fixes
Great, that's sorted out as well. I know it's risky, but I was impatient, so No. 7 has been up and running on our radio for about ten days now. Apart from these few minor issues that have been resolved, I can't find any other mistakes.
  • The advertisement numbers in the fields have made my job much easier.
  • Proportional selection in PLGen has drastically improved the music on the radio. Now everything is much more consistent.
  • Being able to assign days of the week to each start time in the event's start time list is also a great feature. Now I don't have to put the same event in multiple schedulers anymore; everything goes into one.
I hope this will be addressed in No. 8.:
Timing when a song/jingle can play. Or in this case blocking a certain time.
It is useful, for example, for songs that have a heavy vocabulary and are not suitable for broadcast during the day.
Or for a special jingle that only goes at night or on a certain day (weekend jingle, sunday jingle, etc.).
 
New little translation problem. It's always in the Playlist Generator => Category.

This time, you have to go to the priority tab. Click on the “+” at the bottom right.

The particularity of the problem is that I cannot find the original version among the 4 ".ini" files. So I can't translate these elements...

What are those of us who lost our password yesterday going to do? They send us a new password because they change the version every 24 hours. regards
 
Perhaps for the end (if it's not too late) or for some future version - in the Ads Scheduler, darken every second column by day. Just like the rows in Ads window. For better clarity, if the columns are long, it would be easier for me to distinguish days. Sometimes I mistakenly place an Ad on the wrong day.

Something like this:

Yes, I think the same thing. This would be good because I also have jingles that should only play at certain times of the day (Example: good morning or good afternoon...).
The same goes for music that has musical and vocal particularities. You have to put them on at certain times of the day and not at others. My current solution is to create new categories.
With this suggestion from tomimatko, I will be able to optimize my rotations and see more clearly.

I also offer an additional function when creating a category in the Playlist Generator: take into account custom fields (we can currently create 5). For example, in my custom emotions field, a happy song should follow another happy song.

I did the same thing, I have the same category in several versions. With jingles for morning, weekend, evening, night, etc. So we have a fairly long list of Events in the Scheduler even though they only differ by the jingles.
 
i have had no issues with the 7.0, No hardware issues and no problems with the program, I think this one is a winner! just hope I get a good price on the upgrade!
Your first post in this beta period and you ask for a discount ?

Exactly my humor

I think these discounts or account extensions should be earned by actively participating

This is my humble opinion
 
Esta es la primera y única vez que publicas algo en esta sesión beta y solicitas una clave.
Sólo mi tipo de humor
Con todo respeto, he pasado mucho tiempo en los foros, no sé para qué voy a hacer algún comentario, si la mayoría encuentra algún problema en cada versión. Hice una traducción mucho más comprensible y Dimitri no aprobó mi versión, pero luego he visto que las versiones actuales tienen mi traducción, porque se las envié a una persona que está en el foro y veo que la han aprovechado. Un puñal en la espalda. Agradezco tu comentario. saludos
 
This is the first and only time you have postet somthing in this beta session and asking for a Key
Just my kind of Humor
As in my previous RB beta use over the years, if I had found a problem I would have discussed it. Are you asking me to report imaginary problems? I think not.
 
1: I really like the improvement of the accessibility of various sliders.
Now it is known which slider corresponds to which function and the values are also read correctly.
What needs to be improved if the slider name is value are being read?

2: On a daily basis, I do not use the playlist generator or the advertising schedule, but out of curiosity I decided to look at these functions and noticed some encoding error, which causes the Polish diacritical marks used in some commands to be displayed incorrectly or more precisely read incorrectly by the speech synthesis.
Where does it read it incorrectly, is it the user interface translation issue?

3: A funny translation flaw probably still from version 6.3:
Thank you, will be fixed.

I suggest the possibility of automatic start of recording the stream along with the start of the playlist.
Thanks to this, the start time of the recorded file would be equal to the start time of the show and the next elements in the image file .cue would also be correctly indexed, and the show would be recorded from the very beginning.".
You can add commands (menu Playlist->Add command): streamarchive on at the beginning of the playlist, and streamarchive off at the end, this will control the recording.

More about the commands: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/scheduler_commands.htm
 
What are those of us who lost our password yesterday going to do? They send us a new password because they change the version every 24 hours. regards
You can buy a full version, or update your existing key if you have purchased it before.

Perhaps for the end (if it's not too late) or for some future version - in the Ads Scheduler, darken every second column by day. Just like the rows in Ads window. For better clarity, if the columns are long, it would be easier for me to distinguish days. Sometimes I mistakenly place an Ad on the wrong day.
Thank you for the suggestion, this will be assigned for the next minor update, a change like this is not a quick add, there are potential issues with dark theme and item coloring, this will further delay the 7.0 release which is already delayed more than it should.
 
Yes, I think the same thing. This would be good because I also have jingles that should only play at certain times of the day (Example: good morning or good afternoon...).
Currently this can be solved by using a different playlist generator templates for different parts of the day.

The same goes for music that has musical and vocal particularities. You have to put them on at certain times of the day and not at others. My current solution is to create new categories.
Yes, this is the correct way to handle this, different categories and presets.

I also offer an additional function when creating a category in the Playlist Generator: take into account custom fields (we can currently create 5). For example, in my custom emotions field, a happy song should follow another happy song.
Custom Fields are mostly used for Reporting - for cases like this (specify mood, speed, and other song properties) you should use Tags: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/using-tags.htm
And there will be a new feature in the Playlist Generator to specify rules for Tags - what tag can/should/must follow another and so on.

With all due respect, I have spent a lot of time on the forums, I don't know why I am going to make any comments, if the majority finds a problem with each version. I made a much more understandable translation and Dimitri did not approve my version, but then I have seen that current versions have my translation, because I sent them to a person who is in the forum and I see that they have taken advantage of it. A dagger in the back. I appreciate your comment. greetings
