COMMENTS AND TEXT FILES IN THE ADS SCHEDULER

[rossedj9]

Hello.
Would it be possible for future updates to be able to program text files for read advertisements in the advertising manager and also be able to program comments?

program text files for read advertisements

Do you mean text to speech (computer voice) ads?

program comments

Where do you want to include the comments? For intro/outro sections, or for ads themselves?

¿Se refiere a anuncios de texto a voz (voz de computadora)?


¿Dónde quieres incluir los comentarios? ¿Para las secciones de introducción/final o para los anuncios mismos?

Text only. Since there are advertisements that are read.

Regarding the comments, it can be at the beginning of the advertising round, this to know what time the break that is playing or is going to play belongs.

The problem with text to speech items is that their duration is unknown, so it'll be impossible to calculate the block duration. Instead of inserting text, you can generate the audio file from the text in advance, and then add it to the ads scheduler (google offers lots of options to create audio files from text).

Yes, this makes sense, added to the future improvements list.

It's not text to speech, it's just text. What happens is that most radio stations here in Colombia broadcast commercials that have to be read by the announcer on duty.

This can be at the beginning and end of the commercial break to know or specify the time to which said break belongs and the end of it.

This looks like some special case, in RadioBOSS it's supposed that everything plays automatically. I'm not sure how those text items will work.

Comments will be possible soon.

 

[HMMMM]

The only way would be to commit text to audio to a mp3 file first so that it could canulate the time of play. This way RB would know its extent but the timing of this would be critical and need proper management of stop start times unlike FTP has currently.
