RadioBOSS 7.1 [beta]

[djsoft]

Could you confirm if this behavior is expected, or if any additional configuration is required to ensure consistent stretch adjustments throughout the entire hour?

The configuration seems to be correct, and with those settings, it should work as expected. How many file types do you have in the hour? There's a possible bug with file types not being processed properly.

Where does the option appear? I can't find it.

Settings, General, Advanced Configuration: "UI - Show Intro countdown".

Thanks for adding this option. As a suggestion, it would be nice to be able to set a specific time, which will activate just by pressing it.
This way we avoid having to configure the pause duration every time.

This will over-complicate this simple feature, so for now we'll leave it as it is

Hi,
The problem is still present on 7.1.0.4. I uninstalled and reinstalled Radioboss it doesn't change anything.
I don't know where to look anymore.
here is a new video with the debug window activated

Thank you. What happens if you add the voice track before the first track is playing, so that the voice track is already there when a track starts playing, does it change anything?

At the end of the hour, although it shows that the first song of the next hour is scheduled to start at 00:00:00, it doesn’t actually start at that time, making the stretch feature unreliable. A restart temporarily fixes the issue, but after a few hours, the problem returns, causing instability in scheduling.

I'm not sure about restarting. Each time Time Stretch is applied is independent of each other, there is nothing that is accumulated somewhere or something like this. There are some possible and not yet confirmed issues with this, we'll address them in the next update.

I've been testing the command to get weather information and found a possible problem. By default, this setting is set so that weather information cannot be updated within the next 12 hours. It might be better to limit it to only 3 hours, or even 1 hour. This would help the temperature and humidity mentions to be as accurate as possible.

The weather can be updated as frequently as you wish. If you don't use your own API key, then it's limited by our servers to every 30 minutes.
The option on your screenshot shows for how long RadioBOSS will consider the weather data is valid, e.g. with the default 12 hour setting, it means that if you updated weather 13 hours ago, it will consider the data as invalid and will not announce it or show it in the RadioBOSS window.

Hello... Currently, there are nine file types for an hour, all processed with Mix Point and Trim Silence.

Yes, Mix Start will modify the preceding track's Mix point, which can result in what you experience (45 seconds mix point).

Could the system be made smarter to take those points into account for timestreach? Is there an improvement planned for that?

Maybe a specific case, but I’ll report it anyway. I usually don’t place the logo in the top right corner; instead, I use this small PNG rectangle (see attachment). In that case, the "Coming up next" window expands almost to the right edge. I prefer having that window wider window rather than a logo.
However, now the window doesn’t expand to the right but leaves a large empty space. It would be great if this could be fixed to work as it did before.
Or maybe add an option in the settings to disable the logo, so the "Coming up next" window can be larger.

My weather update is failing, probably due to overuse as posted here.

Yes, it will be done in the next update.

Now it uses a minimum width for the logo - we'll consider adding an advanced option to hide it.

Please try again, as there was a server error on our side preventing weather updates for some users. Also, do not update weather more often than every 30-60 minutes.

There is a problem in audio-video synchronization. When playing a video in the main player and an event is executed with the active options "Overlay Playback + Pause the playlist while event is playing", once the main video plays again, a desync is generated where the audio is ahead of the video. It has been tested with a computer with an nVidia 3060 video card and another with an integrated video card. The same thing happens in both.

What does it affect? In the case of a movie playing and an event, such as a commercial break, with "Pause the playlist", this problem will always be generated, very noticeable, since the desynchronization is more than 1 second
Best regards from Chile.

Hi:
I have tried video playback again in version 7.1.0.4 and the audio and video continue to get out of sync or out of phase when playing an event with the main player paused. The audio skips ahead. I will try to find older versions to find out if this same problem occurs or not.
Where can I download older versions of RadioBoss?

Greetings from Chile.

This is what Cooldown is for.

Yeah, this cooldown would be indeed a cool new feature only if it would work properly Is this now better with 7.1.0.4 - did you change something (also fixed AutoIntro probability)?

Unfortunately it doesn't work, as the previous versions are only for licensed users and not for new unlicensed users.

The configured Covers do not function correctly. After configuring and restarting RadioBoss, the Cover will disappear.

It does work properly, according to our testing. It simply "remembers" when the rule was last used and checks if the cooldown time had passed.
Each update has lots of things fixed so it's always a good idea to test the latest beta version.

Yes, seems something's wrong with our API key - we're working on it. You can apply for your own key as stated in the previous messages.

The video support did not change for the last few major updates, so there's no point in checking the older versions.

Can you please specify what cover is it, the default cover?

If I use the pause in the playlist, which is actually a command, the fade settings for the categories are not respected
This means that if I have a normal fade of 10 seconds and this is overwritten with 0 for the category commands, the actual pause of 20 seconds in the playlist is only 10 seconds.
wouldn't it be better if this pause in the playlist respected the fade time set for commands?
I solved the problem by creating a separate category for pause where the normal fade is overwritten with 0
