Hi Guys, ok II have managed to do the above, however, the clock version of the runtime for the URL is a lot longer. I can't figure out how to make it only run for three minutes like it would if I dragged it over to the playout list...,. any ideas, please ?
Hello Peter,
Have a look at "Edit Playout Policy" in the user guide
( http://docs.playitsoftware.com/PlayItLive/203/PlayItLive.pdf )
Within some limits (for example if tracks are by multiple artists it considers each combination as a different "artist" ) it should do what you want.
Peter- thanks again. I like their news so I signed up. For $15 a month, thats a steal. If I only sell sponsorships for two newscasts I have my money back. Everything over that? Well... how appropriate it's Thanksgiving... cause it's gravy!
A quick look at the FSN website suggests that there are two static URLs for their "promotional" bulletins.
http://www.fsnradionews.com/FSNNews/FSNHeadlines.mp3
http://www.fsnradionews.com/FSNNews/FSNWorldNews.mp3
Both seem to work nicely in PlayIt Live so assuming their paid service works the same way it should be OK.
Hi Guys, a bit of a new boy with this, however, I can offer a little bit of advice with this and also need some advice myself. Take a look at FSN. (Link is at the bottom of this) it comes with a £11.66 a month but you get hour news updates on a url every hour, 30 seconds, 3 minutes or 5 minutes. I have tested it with Playit Live and works great.
Nowthen, on this, can any of you help me work out how to get the news break to play every hour without having to drag and drop set up a new remote url?
so basically it just plays?
any help would be great.
Thanks
Pete

Following on from this and not really relevant to the original question but possibly useful to others, I've found it is possible to use the remote URL function to play a shared file.
I put an audio (MP3) file in a dropbox folder and got dropbox (in the browser) to create a shareable link to the file.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ <random numbers >/ <file name> .mp3?dl=0
This won't work in the Remote URL
However changing dl=0 to dl=1 does the job
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ <random numbers >/ <file name> .mp3?dl=1
can be entered into PlayIt Live's Remote URL and seems to work fine.
I'm sure this could be useful to some.
