Hourly Top Of the Hour

 Hi,


Could someone point me in the right direction how to start an hourly jingle (TOTH) at .

I created some Track Groups and a Playout Pattern.

After pressing Automation the system plays the track and jingles as created in the Playout Pattern.

However, I want PlayIt Live to interrupt every hour and start a TOTH and then continue the playlist


Hello Mike,


Create a clock that starts with a fixed time marker of 00:00, then your top of the hour, then the rest of your schedule for an hour and then put the clock in a clock schedule.


The only problem with this is that your last item in the previous hour may be cut short.


Have a read of https://docs.playitsoftware.com/PlayItLive/213/PlayItLive.pdf and the Scheduling & Clocks section.


The video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Ksmcf5Cy8 is good as well.


It took me a little while to understand the thinking behind PlayIt Live.


It is essentially "layered" with it being fairly easy to get started but refinements are available as needed.


Many thanks Mark!
I understand now ;-)
