RadioBOSS 7.1 [beta]

Had to up all my label volumes for the dj as they was not getting out in this latest version
I think if you schedule a playlist with three or more announcements, its only calculating the time to drop the music level on the first song in the playlist
 
No problem, is the screenshot of any playlist with a generated ad block or when the situation occurs where two ads of the same type/priority are together?
I'm not sure yet, a block in the ads scheduler and the same block when it's generated wrong I guess should help.

Hi, I have a small suggestion. It would be great to add the option to set keyboard shortcuts for the 'previous track' function — I really miss it in RadioBOSS.C
Can you please specify what is the use case for Previous Track? This option was removed years ago and I think it's the first time someone needs it :)

if you enter a longer comment for a title (alt+W), it will be inserted under the title.
This comment is only displayed when you point to it with the mouse pointer and then the text only appears for a few seconds over the entire width of the monitor regardless of whether the Radioboss is maximized or not
This is useless in this form
Maybe it would be possible that a popup window opens with the text when you click on the entry, so the text would remain until you close the window
It should then fetch the new text for the next title
It's just an idea, I don't know if it can be realized
Currently it shows a standard hint window that is displayed for several seconds. The comment is not intended to be used this way (hold huge amount of text and display it in a separate window) - I'm not sure if it'll be useful for a lot of people.
Do you want to use it to store song lyrics? If so there's already Lyrics field.

there is a collumn for Lyrics but i dont find where to ad the lyrics
RadioBOSS will read it from the song's tags if it's there.
 
Hi all. @djsoft It seems to me that you said here that we should have our music processed with the mix start option if we use the mix point for crossfade. If you use a trigger mix that the library should be processed with the mix point option, and that the library cannot be processed with both items. I think I've removed the mix point from the library, the mix point for crossfades is turned on and again it occasionally happens to me that the song starts too early. Did I understand you correctly, or should I do something different? I have an idea that I don't know if it would be possible to implement. Would it be possible in the silence detector to start creating a playlist when it detects silence and when it detects that the playlist is empty? Who manually starts the playlist generator may happen to forget to start it.
You should remove all Mix Start points (from the Music Library there's an option for that in the Process Tracks window), then scan for Mix Point or also remove Mix Points and configure everything from the general Crossfade options.

[A] Schedule: 2023-11-22 voice over playlist.m3u8 2023-11-22 voice over playlist - 6 tracks
[A] error: Unable to play! Error code 2 (unable to open the file/invalid server address).
The error message is pretty clear about the reason: file not found, if you're playing a file.

Can you please send a screenshot of the scheduled event that incorrectly works?
 
I have several cases where "Resolve type conflicts" has not worked for me. I'm using RB 7.0.1.9 and the Ads database that I have in production. There are situations where I have 3 ads with the same priority, and 2 of them have the same Type.
In these cases, it keeps the 2 ads of the same Type together without placing the other one in between.
If you want, I can send you the adscheduler.ini file
Hi, Did you investigate what happened with that situation?

Using RadioBOSS, I host shows on an internet radio station. I often insert short instrumental tracks between songs, which serve as interludes or background music for my voice narration. When needed, I loop the instrumental if my narration is a bit longer than the interlude itself. I also often forget to move the background music track underneath the currently playing song. In such cases, it would be much quicker for me to use a keyboard shortcut to go back to it once the main track ends, rather than grabbing the mouse and trying to find that interlude in the playlist to move it under the ending song :)

Sometime i use RadioBOSS like a normal music player so... :)

Not yet, it will be addressed in the next update.

You can configure Bed for microphone, in this case there will be no need to do it manually. If you want to do it manually, probably better option would be to use the AUX players and not insert this into the main player.
 
RadioBOSS 7.1.1.0 Release Candidate

Changes

  • Ads Scheduler: type resolution algorithm improved
  • Various improvements and minor fixes
I can't install over the old version. It used to ask me to close RB in order to complete the installation, but now it doesn't ask and just shows an error.
 
I installed the latest beta version 7.1.1.0x64 on the production PC, and it was really impossible to use AdsScheduler—the slowness makes it unusable. The wheel at the bottom takes more than a minute to finish building all the blocks. If I press the "test all blocks" button, I get an error window saying "the app seems to be frozen"... after several minutes, it eventually completes.
I’ve tried different versions of 7.1, but none of them performed any faster. Even if I disable "Resolve conflicts automatically......", it still takes a very long time to build the blocks.
I have a second backup PC, and the same thing happened there.
I had to go back to version 7.0.8.0 — that one works normally.
All the previous tests were done on a development PC, and I didn’t experience any issues there, but I tested on other test PCs as well, to rule out hardware problems, and the speed was also extremely slow. (Intel i7, 16GB RAM)
I already sent you my AdsScheduler.ini file. You can run the tests there.

The installer didn't change. What error message does it show? Will it install if you close RadioBOSS?

Yes, the problem does reproduce here. The core issue is a sheer number of ads. I added it to the list of bugs to fix.
