Mini-scheduler template decisions

English General

Hello and Happy New Year to all on the forum!

Is it possible within the mini scheduler to get it to make a decision within a template based on the existence of a specific file? I am thinking about voice tracks where presenters would have generic voice tracks stored and these would be used if a specific audio file was absent?

As an example a presenter may record specific voice tracks (in a predefined folder) saved as VT2012-01-01-11-01 to VT2012-01-01-11-06 specific to 6 links during hour 11 on 1st Jan 2012. If these are present then the mini scheduler would put these into the playlist for hour 11 otherwise it would revert to 6 generic pre-recorded voice tracks labelled VT11-01 to VT11-06.

If it is not possible within the mini-scheduler could this be done by a script which would ‘replace’ the generic voice tracks inserted by the mini-scheduler with the specific date coded ones?

Cheers

The Mini Scheduler relies solely on the information stored in the database, it doesn’t really check if a file exists or now (that’s the point of the database anway). So it won’t work on scheduler level.

You could adapt the “import spotlogs” script I posted recently and let it run each time a playlist is loaded: http://forum.mairlist.com/index.php/topic,5537.msg39766.html#msg39766

Thought that might be the case but worth asking and I will certainly have a try at modifying the script you highlight.
