At 00:00:03 a script is started through a scheduled event. The script, which I found on this forum, creates a container with three hooks, an opener, middle and closer jingle. The container is played right after the Top of the Hour jingle. Works great in v4.
In v5 I get an error: “…item is not cueable” and the container is not created.
When I run the script by hand, it sometimes works and it sometimes doesn’t.
Any idea what might be causing this problem?
Please post the entire script here.
Also remember that you can double-click the status bar, System Log will open, and you can copy individual messages as text, no need for a screenshot 
The problem is not v5, but rather that the script is trying to create a container from items that are not a file (“cueable” in mAirList-speech), possibly a stream or a dummy item.
Actually the person who wrote the script (not me) thought it would be good to check that before handling the item, and added an if/then block - but used a condition that always evaluates to true:
// Is this a song?
if 0 >= 0 then
beginI assume the person didn’t really know how to check for a file… Replace that code by
// Is this a song?
if currentItem.IsCueable then
beginand it should work.
It’s working again! Thanks Torben! My apoligies for assuming it had something to do with v5. I didn’t have any problems in v4, that’s why. Thanks again.
How do I open this script to edit this line?
Nevermind :-[ found it: e.g. Wordpad
Thx!!! This was the solution I was searching!
The way I have the hook container set up is that it always ends with a jingle. However, all of my songs are separated by a some sort of ID element which means that I get two ID’s played back to back. How can i add a line in the script that will check the next playing item, and in case that item is not in the category music, delete the item?
[code] // Is this a song? if 0 >= 0 then begin [/code]I assume the person didn’t really know how to check for a file… Replace that code by

I changed that after I took the IVP script as a source to debug some code and never removed it :-[ Thanks for this improvement! Will update my scripts as well ;D
Yes, “IsCueable” checks if this is a “cueable” item, which means that it has a finite duration, you can seek in it, and also set cue points (hence the name).
Cueable items include: files, containers, finite silence, finite streams. (The latter becaue finite streams are internally implemented by finite silence items that mute/unmute the stream as you start/stop them.)
If you only want to check for actual files, use “IsFile” instead.

Thanks. I will give it a shot at try!
