Commercial planner

I will like to see in Mairlist a function. That commercials can automatically schedule. For example, before and after the news.
Because we work with different commercials at different times

Isn’t that possible already by using multiple sub playlists within mini Scheduler?

This feature is not quite what I mean.

Mairlist zal automatisch een event blokje moeten kunnen opstarten. welke om bijvoorbeeld xx.59.55 uitgezonden is
He will then have to calculate that if a block takes 2 minutes and 30 seconds. that he xx.57.25 instart him.

Excuses voor mijn slechte engels taalvaardigheid.

That works using the “Backtimed” timing option:

  1. Put an audio item or dummy into the playlist that marks the end of the commercial block - this could e.g. be the news opener or any other top of the hour item, or just a dummy.

  2. Set the timing of that item to “hard fixed time”, and the fixed time to the time when the commercial block should end.

  3. Now place the commercial block before that item, and set its timing to “Backtimed”.

Exactly what you are looking for :slight_smile:

Torben I’ve done what you’ve gezegt. This also works fine.
But if I an hour with live-assist in plan.
Then it fails to start the advertising block in.

you have a solution for this ?

In live assist mode, the DJ is responsible for starting and stopping the items in time. That’s why it’s “live” :wink:

He can still choose to switch to AUTO shortly before the commercials start…

Good point, but will be happy as readymade function seen in Mairlist

You can enable the Automation mode, by a scheduled event as well. So no matter what the DJ is doing, the commercials will run. Basicly I agree with Torben, running the items at the correct time is in the DJs responsibility.
