Supress Overlay
Posted: 12 Jan 2015 19:28
Hi Bernd,
A question regarding the supress overlay script line option.
At our station we use a script which plays a top of the hour, than checks if there is a certain audiofile with a naming convention (YYMMDD-HH.mp3/wav). If thats available, it means that there is a pre recorded show for that particular hour available and that will be played. If not, the script will play a non-stop show with some liners/id's and so on. At around **.30 there will be local news, scheduled from the overlay scheduler.
In the scriptline which plays the pre recorded show, I use the suppress overlay in order to prevent the local news from being played. The pre-recorded shows are 58 minutes you see, you don't want them cut of after a certain time for the local news.
However, this option also prevents the commercials to be played near the top of the next hour. We use commercials with a 'end at' 00:00 to be played before the next hour kicks in.
Is there a way to suppress the overlay but not suppress the advertising overlay ?
Kind regards,
André
