Good idea, yes - will be added in one of the future updates.tking said:
This may sound odd, but there is no compiled list of differences existsactucast said:
The KH version fixes some bugs fixed and changes what stream information it gives out. From our experience, in terms of uptime and overall reliability, the KH version is better and it's set as the default for all new accounts. There's no need to switch to regular Icecast unless you have a requirement to do so.cal_stoneman

After reading the documentation, I'm slightly confused by the "overlay playback" option in the scheduler. What exactly could this be used for?
Please specify what event it is and when did it happen.actucast said:
Currently it does not always work due to some problems with external mailing service we use. An update will be released today that will fix the problem.actucast said:
It's useful when you want to play something together with the currently playing song, optionally lowering its level. It's pretty much the same as in desktop RadioBOSS: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/eventoptions2.htmCallum said:

If I had a news broadcast to play every so often, could "overlay playback" be used to play a bed over the news broadcast?djsoft said:
If it was playing previously, then it will continue from the position it left off. Even if it was in another playlist. When you add a new item, it will still check what the position for that folder was. It could be that when you have it played previously, it played the 07 file, and now it plays 08 as it's the next one in the queue.actucast said:
Unlikely, as it would be hard to synchronize the overlay event with the news event. The typical uses for the overlay feature are:Callum said:
- play station ids when you play long DJ mixes and therefore playing ids between tracks is not really an option
- play top of the hour jingles if you don't want to interrupt the playing track
- run some important (and, typically, short) announcements, without interrupting the playing track

I see, thanks for the clarification.
It's not possible, as it will require a way to specify when to continue, and when to start over. And, also, in this case, it will be missing the last file, if you start over earlier, before it played the last track from the folder.actucast said:
If you know how many files there are, and it's constant, you should schedule it to play so that it plays all files from the folder, to make sure that it starts from the first file when needed.
