Current time of overlays in pre-generated playlists when Remote VoiceTracking

Post by Kyle FM »

Hi Bernd

We use an external scheduler that exports files as CSV, which is imported into ProppFrexx. These files contain "OVERLAY: xxx" entries, which are linked by ProppFrexx to the corresponding overlay. Because we don't know the length of the actual overlay up front, we use a dummy time for this overlay.

When a user is Remote VoiceTracking, and downloading the playlist we would like ProppFrexx to replace this dummy time with the actual time of the overlay at that moment.

We already have enabled "Resolve Overlays" and "Use Current Length", but that option does not seem to work when the playlist template has already been created when importing using the Auto Importer.

Is it possible to add support for this?

I will take a look, but currently this is not possible.
But what type of Overlay are you using? Is this of type Advert, Script, Playlist... ?

I already release a new v4.5.1.0-beta (see here: viewtopic.php?t=3776)
This version hopefully resolves your containers as expected.

Hi Bernd

Thank you! I was sick last week so couldn't test this yet. Will test this and let you know!
