Automatic Coming Up Embedded container generator
Posted: 04 Feb 2016 15:03
Hi Bernd,
As you probably know a lot of radio stations tease the songs coming up in the next hour, most of the time just for the news (so at the end of the hour before)
Would it be an option/idea to create an option to let PFOA automatically generate an embedded hook container, this way:
- function can be scheduled in a script or overlay, just like ie a placeholder/jingle/LoadTrack entry
- function will check if there is a scheduled program after the one running at the moment
- If there is, function will check if there are tracks scheduled in that program which has a hook set
- If there is, function will pick random some of those songs (in order ie song 3, 7, 11)
- function will create a embedded hook container, just like the 'Container from Selection' option in the playlist menu is doing.
- Settings for this function can be set in the Settings and Options, just like the Hook Mixing Settings can be done at the moment. So, it got it's own mix settings, opener, separator, closer and amount of songs to be picked.
Would you consider adding this to the wish list?
Best regards,
André
