Overlay stops

Post by djanji »

Bernd,
Now, for the second day Propp stopped playing when it should play new playlist on 22 o'clock. The problem is that the player for overlay stooped at 18:15 today, yesterday stooped on 20:15. Overlay can not be played manualy and I have to restart the program to start it again. I can start the song but it stopped again when the new playlist had to start. I don't get any ERROR. Any idea I don't know what to do.

Regards
Jani

Unfortunately I can see almost nothing on that small picture - I can not even find any Overlay Player window on it.
So, what happens exactly, what are your settings, which version are you using etc.?
If not the latest v3.0.14.7, try that one first...
If it happens again, please enable the 'Debug Logging' and then send me the log output when it happens again...

What version are you using?
Any recent updates made to you system?
And when did the issue start?

So is it that the overlay player is not playing a next track within the overlay playlist.
Or is it that overlay player does not resume the playlist which is about to be resumed.
And if the latter, is it the same playlist which as when the overlay started, or is it new playlist which has been created in background while the overlay player was shown?

I am a bit unsure, because you mention a new playlist at 22 o'clock but say, that the overlay stopped at 18:15 ?!

Any recent updates made to you system? _No
And when did the issue start? _Three days ago.

Playlists has continue playing song. But on 22 o'cloock whan the new palylist should start it didn't.

So is it the new v3.0.14.1 ?

Can you please post your overlay settings as well as what/how you are playing things in the overlay, e.g. is it a script, advert slot, news block etc.
If it is a script, please post that as well.
Are you maybe be downloading files to be played within the overlay. If yes, how are you downloading it and when?
And finally what audio files are you playing, could there be a chance, that these are broken?
(I am asking this, since there already had been cases, where the download process was the blocking the file access to the files to be played in the overlay)

Possible the problem is that I copy a file in the overlay. I use a script that I have entered in the OL then just overwrite files. that is, until the day before yesterday worked great.

Yet Tues. The OL was normally broadcast at 12:15., Which means that the file is okay.

a) Who creates the 'NOVICE 1815.pfp' file?_ Sorry it is not a scrept but playlist. And the playlist was created ba me. I created the playlist and entered it in OL. Later on I just pewrite the files.
b) What files are referenced inside that playlist?_Only one file that is every day overwritten by the new one. I use 256kbps mp3.
c) Who creates the files being used inside the playlist (are they static or downloaded by some process)? _ I overwritte them daily.I record all the shows and repeat it later on.
If yes, what process is it exactly.
I hope I'm clear enough

OKi, and you are 100% sure, that the recording files are fully released, finally created and okay when the overlay is due to be played? yes because it played at 12:15 normaly.
How are you recording the files (with what tool)? And how much later do you use them in the overlay (i.e. how much later are your shows repeated)? I use your main mixer recorder on In1 (ProppFrexx) direct from Studer AUX out and edit it in Wavelab. Depends most of them repeated only once a day. except "NEWS" which is repeated three times a day
And how long are these 'show.mp3' files to be played as an overlay?_Shows in OL are entered without end date. And are overwrite every day not all of them some of tham just onece a week depending on the rotation.
