ProppFrexx ONAIR User-Forum

Ok, I understand. When we import an M3U file using the UPD command, is it possible to skip an hour?
For example: if the playlist for 12:00 has already been created, that hour is not included in the M3U file anymore.

When SkipExistingPrograms is enabled in the Scheduler Automation → M3U Import Options, an existing PYYYYMMDD_HHmm.pfp file is still being overwritten. My understanding is that this file should not be overwritten when this option is enabled. Is this the intended behavior, or is something going wrong ...

Problem solved, I just had to select that folder again

The issue is not in the file, but in the folder it is being sent to. When I set the output folder in the settings to C:\REMOTE\M3U and run the test, I get that error message.
When I set it to C:\Users\AppData\..., there is no error, and the import works perfectly.

After the update, I get this error message.

I’ve done some testing, and it seems that only with “TimeUpdateOrHour” a playlist is created for each hour, but it is not split at the position where the UDP command is placed.
Also, the playlists are still being written to the AppData folder instead of the configured output folder.

Are there any ...

Is this correct: when using “Split by TimeUpdate”, it only creates one PFP file, but with “TimeUpdateOrHour” it creates one for each hour?
Also, why are the playlists not being placed in the configured Playlist Output Folder? They are ending up in the AppData folder instead.
I’ve attached the M3U ...
