Not sure what I am doing wrong here…
When generating the playlist the first part is skipped.
Only music is picked out of item 3 and 4 it is skipping item 2
Please advise.

Try setting the timing of item 3 to soft fixed time, with time 00:30:00.
I think that is your intention anyway, starting the second half of the hour with a particular song from block 1, right? So there should be a fixed time on it.
The “planned duration” setting is only for the planning person (you!) to have an idea how long the particular items/blocks will be. Items of type “fill with…” should always be set to “infinite/fill”. They will automatically float into the gaps of the non-fill items.
What happens right now is:
-
In phase 1, the scheduler picks all non-filling items, in this example: item 1, 3, and 5.
-
In phase 2, the scheduler checks if there are gaps between the items, and uses the “fill with…” items to fill those gaps.
But as item #3 has no fixed time, it sits directly after item 1, so there is no gap between 1 and 3, and only the filling item 4 will be used to fill the gap between 3 and 5.
Got it!
Setting it to a Soft Fixed Time solved my problem.
Thanks!
