RadioBOSS 7.2 [beta]

[djsoft]

Hi everyone. I would like to provide feedback regarding the 'Create multiple playlists' window. This window is still only semi-accessible.
For the buttons, NVDA just says 'button' and doesn't read the specific option or label. The only options it correctly announces are: 'save playlist to', 'number playlists for each preset', and 'start number'.
Also, when the presets option is opened, it is not possible to check or uncheck the desired preset (the checked/unchecked state is not announced). The checkbox for specifying the playlist start time is readable, though.
I hope you will be able to fix these issues.

Unfortunately there's a problem with this window as it involves using the grid control which we were unable to make accessible yet, I'm sorry, even if other parts are accessible, the main grid that shows the preset list, will still be a problem.

I’ve been testing the beta version a bit, and features like Dayparting and the new repeat protection rules in the Playlist Generator look very promising.

We currently use a different automation system, but we are planning to switch to RadioBOSS soon, as it looks like a very solid and flexible solution for radio automation.

One thing I’m still not completely sure about is how history and repeat protection work globally. From what I understand many of these settings seem to be tied to individual presets?

It would be very useful to have a true global history or master repeat protection layer that works across all presets, a kind of top-level controller that monitors all presets when selecting music. This would help avoid unwanted repeats of songs or artists when running complex automated schedules with many playlists and dayparts.

If a global history system already exists, I would really appreciate some clarification on how it behaves when multiple presets are active.

There's a new tool we plan to create that will allow automatically manage those "generate playlist" events, but it will be released later.

Will this be possible in this beta? Using a start time would require recreating my events, which is very cumbersome since I have presets A, B, and C that alternate daily.

Example:
- Monday 5 am: Preset A, 6 am: Preset B
- Tuesday 5 am: Preset B, 6 am: Preset C

I'm eager to try out the new replay rules.
