Looking at our 2-way split-system, we’re having difficultly coming to a solution where we can manipulate 2 playlists, and still keep them in the M3U format. (my reasoning being that if mAirList can read an M3U, it should be able to save one!).
This brings me to my 2nd point: The Events button drops down and offers Playlist1 or Playlist2 - We load an M3U playlist each hour, but BOTH playlists are loaded with the same playlist file. Weird! I know that the MLP file can support a dual playlist, but we schedule in M3U and it’d be a major chore to open each playlist (48 per day!) and save as a 2-playlist MLP…
How about the ability to open an M3U playlist into a specific mAirList playlist ? It would also be handy for those who run a music log on Playlist 1, and a commercial on Playlist 2 (for example).
At the very least, I think I’ve found a slight bug in the way the Events load an M3U playlist
BOTH playlists are loaded with the same playlist file
Are you sure about this? How do you trigger the loading, with the “load playlist” event type or by a script?
Each playlist goes along with its own event scheduler which can be edited separately. This is the reason for the menu popping up. All operations apply only to the playlist associated with this scheduler. Even when loading a dual-playlist MLP file from a playlist-#2-event will load the second playlist with the first first playlist data found in the MLP file.
If there is a mistake somewhere, please let me know.
Loading an M3U via a script (current hour/day mmm dd method etc). I notice that I can right-click an empty playlist and load an M3U in each, which is good.
I seem to be getting both Event windows showing the same thing… I think it may be because they are BOTH loading standard.mle when mAirList starts ?
EDIT: I also cannot get the “only once at” part to work, where you can use the up/down buttons to set a daily time. This is where a daily even needs to run at 23:55:00. It keeps reverting back (on a dual playlist system) to the current system time.
Oh, yes, you’re right, there’s a bug. The startup routines accidently decrease the counter by 1 when trying to load the event list. Try “playlist-1.mle” for the first list I will fix that for 1.5.26.
The “only once” bug will also be fixed in the upcoming version. You can work around it by checking “user defined” and enter the hour, minute, second values manually.
