Playlist generator behavior

[southernfm]

Using version 7.0.4.0

We run an API command ?pass=pass&cmd=generate%20[pro]%20AUSSIE-OVERNIGHT

When this runs it generates and plays the playlist in the player. When our scheduled break comes in at xx:19 or xx:39 it clears the playlist out completely, replacing it with just the schedueled break.

How do we get the API to generate the playlist and treat the playlist as 'regular' tracks instead of scheduled tracks?

How do we get the API to generate the playlist and treat the playlist as 'regular' tracks instead of scheduled tracks?

One way would be to create a scheduled event with "Insert as - Regular tracks" option, and start this event using the API. This will provide you more control and predictability (how the playlist will be inserted, queues, etc.) compared to running the command directly.
