Overlays as playlist inserts: making them the first item in a playlist & making priorities work
Posted: 12 Apr 2016 19:05
I'm currently testing out ProppFrexx using the demo version and currently have the following overlays for the beginning of a 2000 hour:
The news overlay is setup like this:
Most notably, it has a "soft" start type, is allowed to start early and late (as long as it does not cut off a song and is as near to the hour as possible), and has the AsPlaylistInsert option.
The advert slot overlay is similarly set up but with priority 1 instead of 0:
However if I create a 1 hour playlist for this 2000 hour, the overlays are not the first item in the playlist (so they will not be as close to the hour as possible), and they are arranged the wrong way round:
This is how the playlist is created:
Is there something I'm missing?
(For the ordering issue, I tried switching the priorities in case I got the idea of 0 being first wrong but it hasn't made a difference.)
