Running version 2.16 (Build 4838) I'm trying to do what to me should be a simple task - Schedule pre-records to go out at particular times. Hour long shows so no complications with odd times and everything is in the one MP3.
I'm at my wits end. I can't wrap my head around the logic of the scheduling system so I can't get the system to reliably play. Here's what I'm doing: Creating a clock with a hard 00:00 marker.
Scheduling the clock to start at the next hour. Turning on log Scheduler.
And that's where it all goes wrong. It either fills the playout log with random songs or it plonks the scheduled program in the playout log at the time I hit the Scheduler button. Why not put it in at the scheduled time????
For example I just scheduled a pre-record to run at 15:00 and it's sitting the playout log ready to play as the current item.
If the program appears in the log at this random time, it will eventually put in the hard marker and play at the right time but, here's the issue I see; There's no differentiation that this is a scheduled event, it just looks like someone put it in there by accident so someone could come along and either play it or delete it.
Is there a dummies guide because everything I've found so far doesn't cover this use case.
