How to Generate a New Rotation Playlist Every Hour?

Post by Radiofreak »

I have an evening rotation scheduled in the Scheduler from **18:00 until 00:00**. ProppFrexx automatically creates one rotation playlist for that entire time period.

The problem is that when the hourly news is played (for example at 19:00, 20:00, etc.), ProppFrexx continues the same rotation playlist after the news from the point where it stopped.

Is it possible to have ProppFrexx generate a **new rotation every hour**, based on the rotation script for a one-hour evening rotation?

For example, I would like to keep **one Scheduler entry from 18:00 until 00:00**, but have the rotation automatically refresh every hour so that each hour starts with a newly generated playlist according to the one-hour evening rotation script, instead of continuing the previous hour's playlist.

Is there a setting or script that can achieve this?

No.
You would have to either create a scheduler entry for every hour.

Or you should not ‚Pause‘ the playlist, but just Suspend it. In that case the current track is being stopped, and after the News, the next track will be played.

That is clear. There is indeed a news broadcast every hour. I will program the rotations separately for each hour. Thank you for the answer.
