Successful use of .cue files ?

[IanTheRadioGeek]

I am trying to get my installation of RadioBOSS Cloud v3.1.4 to pick up and relay the use of .cue files, which doesn't appear to be working.

From documentation, I understand that RadioBOSS Cloud should have that facility, but doesn't appear to interpret them when I am trying to play them out.

I am uploading both .mp3 and .cue files within the same folder, and they both have the same naming convention ie : hour1.mp3 and hour1.cue

I have checked that the 'Do not send broadcasting title' setting is NOT set against the folder in the Settings area.

Is there anything I am overlooking or does the upload have to be done in a specific way ?

Any help/suggestions appreciated

What title does it send when this file is playing?

Please try using the desktop RadioBOSS https://www.djsoft.net/enu/description_radioboss.htm - does it show the titles from .cue in its Now Playing bar?

So currently using the Cloud version, I have trialled the show that I am wishing to playout.
They are located in the same media folder, and are labelled Part1.MP3 and Part1.cue
The now playing titles both in the top page strap and the Now Playing green coloured box are both showing "Part 1", not the contents of the cue file

I will install the desktop version and test ASAP

If the desktop version doesn't show the titles either, it would mean that the cue file is invalid.

Yes, The issue happened on the desktop version also.

Having dug into the issue a bit further, and for others reference, there does appear to be different formatting of cue files.

The files that I was sent appears to have been output from the PlayoutONE system and followed the following formatting :

INDEX 0
CUE 28000
TITLE With Every Heartbeat
ARTIST Robyn & Kleerup
LENGTH 191000
ALBUM
ISRC
TYPE Song
INDEX 1
CUE 219000
TITLE Move
ARTIST Adam Port & Keinemusik with Stryv and Malachiii and with Camila Cabello
LENGTH 165000
ALBUM Move
ISRC
TYPE Song
INDEX 2

CUE 395000

This appears not to be interpretable by RadioBoss.

I have rekeyed the output into the following format, which appears to work

PERFORMER "example"
TITLE "Hour 1"
FILE "Part 1.mp3" mp3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "With Every Heartbeat"
PERFORMER "Robyn & Kleerup"
INDEX 01 00:29:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Move"
PERFORMER "Adam Port & Keinemusik"
INDEX 01 03:40:00

I hope maybe Support can verify my findings/thoughts , and don't mind me posting this feedback, as I wasn't initially aware there were different formats of .cue in existence, and that it may help other users.
