A few problems I'm hoping to resolve
  • JaysonTannerJaysonTanner January 22
    Overall I'm very happy with Loudcaster but I keep getting these problems popping up now and then.

    1) As the computers there "need" to end a playlist at the top of the hour so they can start a new playlist at the top of the hour - they will sometimes pull a song from my library to fill any gaps. What will happen is a song will start and then abruptly fade. This wouldn't be so bad if it would pull an instrumental but usually it pulls a vocal. Mind you, none of the vocals in my library are marked for the djbots to air. Only my instrumentals are marked for air. But it picks vocals anyway. This seems, well, stupid in two ways. I don't "need" my playlists to begin and end exactly at the top of the hour so it's unnecessary to begin with. And two - why doesn't DJ Bot recognize my commands to only pick from instrumentals?

    2) Sometimes my playlists are scrambled. Very frustrating when I have a show with its own format, with voice tracks talking about the songs I've just played - and things run out of order. Is this happening to anyone else? And if so, have you found a solution?

    It's almost like the playlist thing thinks I'm just making suggestions when I program a playlist. I'm seriously wanting the songs and voice tracks and PSAs and everything to land exactly how I program them.

    Are you using the old scheduler or are you beta testing the new dashboard/scheduler?

    I'm on the new one. Beta.

    Gonna try Opera .. just in case Google Chrome is the problem.

Howdy, Stranger!
