Hourly Playlists - Loading Script ?

No, there’s no such function yet, but I will need one soon when I implement the “soft fix time” feature requested in the German forum. I will make that function public to the scripts then.

AutomationNext just fades to the next item. The same thing which happens when you click the “Next” button in the control bar.

Ah I see, thanks Torben.

Does anyone know if I can fade out the current item first for say 3 seconds first, then perform the automation jump to start the hourly marker?

It sounds a little close to a train wreck not fading the audio a while before it jumps.

I’m starting to think it would be a better idea to load hourly playlists which would make mAirList wait until the current items finished.

I’ve made hourly audio files with their own custom icon in the playlist of a clock at a specific hour. I was going to use dummy files, but if I just use audio then it retains the icon so I just need to drag and drop the markers in the playlist. Although in saying that, if I schedule from a scheduler, will mAirList load the icons when the playlist loads, or use default icons?

Thanks,
Gavin.

If you want 3 seconds delay, try to insert a Silence item at the beginning of the hour.

When importing from M3U, mAirList will try to read both the MMD and the file tag. So you should save your icons in one of these locations. Unfortunately, dummy or silence items do not have an MMD or a file tag. But you could create a 3 second silence WAV file, add an icon stored in the MMD, and use that WAV file as the hour marker, instead of the dummy item.
