RadioBOSS 7.1 [beta]

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.

I have made an event for this and can drag and drop it into the playlist
Another possibility is to create a button in the cartwall with the command pause #20 or the seconds that the pause should last
also drag and drop it into the playlist

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

To clarify, do you use the pause command, which pauses the playback, or you use a timed pause?

when using the function (see picture) in the playlist, the crossfade is not overwritten as it was set in the settings for commands

Please ensure that you have installed the Video Plugin: https://www.djsoft.net/community/threads/video-playback-plugin.7128/

I think I've found where the video playback issue is coming from.

I was able to test both the most recent versions of RadioBoss Advance and the older versions.
This synchronization problem that I explained in a previous post, occurs since the first version that requires installing the VLC video plugin.

For example, in version 5.9.4.0 (which does not require the installation of the VLC plugin), the video works without problems.

But with version 6.0.1.9, which requires the installation of the VLC plugin, the synchronization problem occurs. Likewise in a version of 6.1.X.X and another of 6.2.X.X.

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?

Hi Dmitry, I believe you have found my issue. Indeed, the playlist stops or if I don't insert a voice track after the current track in a playing playlist, it works fine.
So it's a minor issue that only occurs when a voice track is inserted after the current track.
Many Thanks

When the View>Top panel is set to minimal, the Accuweather icon is still partially visible. Although neither the temperature nor the humidity is displayed.

I also suggest that the metric to imperial conversion should not be changed by a mouse click, as I often accidentally click and switch it. This change is likely made only once (depending on which system you use). Therefore, I suggest moving this setting to the settings menu.

On the screenshot, the "pause #10" item is not marked with the file type's color. Also, timed pause is not a command so it will not be treater as a "command" file type (if this is the default file type and is not modified).

And again, i had to disable all other tasks to stop it crashing in shedular latest version

This seems to be version 7.1.0.3, please try 7.1.0.5, it actually has freeze bug fixed, and it should also cover your case.

But with version 6.0.1.9, which requires the installation of the VLC plugin, the synchronization problem occurs. Likewise in a version of 6.1.X.X and another of 6.2.X.X.

You can uninstall the plugin to make it behave like version 5.9 did.

Thank you. It still has to be fixed

Will be fixed, thank you.

What is the purpose of clicking the weather data area? Currently it switches between three modes. I'm not sure it should be changed, unless more options are added, that are not possible configure with a simple click.

• Advanced option: intro countdown font size

Why is the intro font black? It doesn't look right, how do I change the color?

 

[xzsaimon16]

A new bug is that it doesn't appear when the time announcement is played in the container. It also doesn't change the color of the container depending on the type of item it contains. It should work like version 7.1.0.4. But they had a small bug there.

You can uninstall the plugin to make it behave like version 5.9 did.

I tried that, but when I uninstalled the plugin it only plays certain mp4 files (most popular format) and only plays the audio.

in the scheduler, the streamarchive command followed by the save path does not work in 7.1.0.5
streamarchive C:\Users\Pat\Desktop\RB recordings\ich\ transmission from %hh %nn %ss - %d %m %y
With the same path it works if I use the red dot
I would like to use 2 different paths one for me and one when my wife is on air and create an event for each one that I simply start with execute now

It doesn't work in 7.0.8.0 either
