Playlist fade in/fade out duration while starting an Overlay event

Set the fade type for scheduler events with Overlay Playback option or Jingles. This option controls how smooth the playlist volume change would be.

Scheduler event flashing time

Set the time for a scheduled task to flash in the Coming Up Next window before its playback starts.

Maximum time to generate playlist by schedule

Timeout when using the "Generate" command in the scheduler event. If a playlist is not generated within the specified timeout, the playlist generator is aborted. Usually 10 seconds is enough.

Start 'generate' command events earlier

When the Scheduler runs an event with the generate command, the playlist must be created before the moment it is supposed to start playing. The Start Earlier option defines how many minutes before the scheduled start time the event will run.

Do not start any scheduled events when the playlist is currently paused

If the playlist is currently paused, the event will not be started (*).

Do not start any scheduled events when the playlist is currently stopped

If the playlist is currently stopped, the event will not be started (*).

Do not start scheduled events when MIC is on

If the MIC is on, the event will not be started (*).

Send track titles from Overlay events

Titles from events that are played as an Overlay will be sent to the streaming server. The titles are only sent in the following cases:

The event sets the playback level to zero

The event pauses the playlist

The event has "Priority over the relay" option enabled

Send track titles from Overlay events when the Relay is active

When the Send track titles from Overlay events is enabled, titles from Overlay events will also be sent when the Relay is active.

Sweeper selection: allowed duration deviation (sec)

When selecting sweepers before scheduled events, allow the sweeper duration to be larger by up to set amount.

 

(*) - Events are still inserted into the playlist, but their playback will not start.
