Line Input

The line input at present can be enabled for a preset time on schedule.  Why not offer the option to have two commands:  LINE INPUT ON and LINE INPUT OFF (also with selectable fade in and fade out times) to cater for those events such as remote broadcasts, where the length of the event cannot always be predicted in advance?

The ON command would keep the line input open until such a time as the feed concluded, and then the remote operator could use remote access software, or the remote API to trigger the OFF command and resume the playlist.
 
You can call the "next" API command (or use the "next" command in the scheduler) so that it will go to the next track in the playlist.
 
Yes but what if I wish to conclude the line input event by going to an event like the news which starts immediately at the scheduled time?  Use of Start and stop event times is crucial in radio such as for switching to a different studio feed.... it would be useful as well to have such a feature when taking a live stream relay.  ;)
 
There are API commands to start events as well. Turning off line input, as you requested in the original post, if effectively the same as going to the next track - so the "next" command appears to be what you need.
