Hello!

It was highlighted. Now it load the current hour.
I distorted Action’s label. “Load and play database playlist”.
But which playlist?
Ok There are not many playlist to choose from, so I should have known better.

The box must be unchecked when you intend to load the playlist of the current slot (hour). So when you run the event at 20:00:00, and you want the 20:00 playlist, leave the option unchecked.

The box must be checked when you want to load the playlist of the next slot. Some people prefer to load/append the playlist for the next hour five minutes before the top of the hour. So when you run your event at 20:55:00, and you want the 21:00 playlist, check this box.

When you save a playlist in mAirListDB, it is saved with a date and a time; for example: 21 Dec 2009 03:00.

The “Load and play database playlist” action will load the database playlist for the ‘current’ date and hour. If the date is 21 Dec 2009 and the current time is 15:30, the Action will load the database playlist saved as 21 Dec 2009 15:00, which is probably not what you want. Probably you really wanted to load the playlist for 16:00, or the ‘next’ hour: if you check (tick) the checkbox Load the playlist for next hour (instead of current hour), the Action will (in this example) load the 16:00 playlist instead of the 15:00 one.
