Same fade out time of the stop control, for the stop command

[davidbcn1970]

Currently, if you set the fade out time to stop, that setting only works when you press the stop control button, but if a stop command is programmed, the fade out time is different and very short (1 or 2 seconds). .
The stations that use time signals or time tocs (a function that would also be welcome in Radioboss, since now it has to be programmed with events not without some difficulty), usually create a stop with fade out at the end of the hour (minute 59 and 53 seconds), so that while the audio that is playing disappears, the time signals enter.
So far the only elegant way I have found to do it is with a multiple event, in which there is a fadeout 5000 command and a clearplaylist command.
It would be much better if Radioboss had the function of generating time signals (every 30 minutes or every hour), instead of doing it by events. Since this way the time signals would be mixed in the main output, and work independently of the playlist, and could even work with the events disabled, for live broadcast.
The stop command should be able to take the fade out time of the stop control or be able to assign its own fade out time in the settings.

David are you are broadcasting through a DSP to your radio station like Thimeo Audio Technology or similar. Does this not provide what you're looking for in respect to time signals? if you are not using a DSP how are you outputting to radio stream are you running a hardware connection or to an internet stream?

No. The online broadcast is transmitted from Radioboss directly, without intermediaries. I don't use any external elements. AGC and compressor are what Radioboss includes

Ok you are probably streaming then not to aerial you should be ok. as they should put time intervals on it

You can use the Overlay Playback option, in this case it will play within its own player. Main playlist may optionally be silenced/paused.

The two events that play the audio file with time tocs have the simultaneous playback box activated, with the audio level of the list at 100%. The other event starts the 5 second fade out and clears the list, so that the new list is loaded on the hour.

It transmits simultaneously via antenna and streaming. That doesn't interfere. Streaming broadcasts have audio mix as input and the line out audio from the sound card is sent to the broadcast on the antenna. The end result is the same, regardless of the broadcast mode.

Looks like everything's working fine - what needs to be improved?

The fade out duration of the stop command. When the stop control button is pressed, it respects the fade out time in the settings, but the event-activated stop command does not use that time and there is no setting to configure it.

OK, we'll check it - it should definitely use the Fade Out On Stop configuration for this command.

Ok. Thanks
