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.
