Covers

[jopara]

Hello, currently I have a .bat file that I include at the start of the on-air program to upload the program's cover image via FTP (if there's an easier way to do this in RadioBoss, I'm not aware of it). However, I have an issue with this: it doesn't work on one of the "OnAir" PCs at one of our stations (I think it might be related to the router).

The thing is, it works perfectly with that .bat file, but (there’s always a “but”) I’ve noticed that other software (I don’t like to compare, but unfortunately, I have to, and I’m referring to a currently free software like Salamandra) has a feature where, through “File Types” and using an “identifier,” it can launch, among other things, a custom cover image for that specific “type.”

This feature would be incredibly useful for differentiating covers between Commercials, Jingles, etc. Is there any plan to include this feature in RadioBoss in the future? Thank you!

We have this feature planned for RadioBOSS 7.1.

Magnificent. I just want to congratulate you on this and ask when the new version will be ready.

It will first be released as a beta version, within 1-2 months.

I link to this post: during live broadcasts I need to have the photo of the speaker appear in the radio app and under it the title of the song on air, I saw that with the other direction (mb) my colleagues do it without problems, when will it be possible with radioboss?

This should become possible in the upcoming RadioBOSS 7.1, please see the posts above.

Hello I have a problem with the cover of the following track (artwork_next) I deactivated the Jingles but it still sends their cover and for the titles it works they are not displayed Is this normal?

This is sort of by design. It's supposed to hide the titles, and for jingles, typically station logo is assigned as an artwork, or it's empty and default artwork is used.

Yes but I want it to display the cover of the song after the jingle that I deactivated otherwise I think it's useless for the radio, for a playlist with only songs it will work. I use Obs for my radio vision RB is perfect but I can't display the following song cover, it's a shame I think.

to understand clearly I took photos 1 with 2 songs that follow each other and 1 other with I jingle between the two songs that I don't want to see in the cover of the song that follows like the first photo just the music (it's is video clips)

You're right, this will be improved in the future.
