Playing 1 hour file with ads

Hi everybody,

I need to play an 1 hour mix which is a complete mp3 file but I also need to play an required ad break at 20 and 40 within this particular hour. How to configure the file, interrupted and continue after the ad since it is only one file?

At best is, that you use an Overlay for the ads, but schedule the 1 hour file either directly in your program or via a script.
In the Overlay for the ads you can set the following options:
- Suspend Program (checked)
- Pause (checked)!!!
If checked and 'Suspend Program' is selected the current track of the current playlist will be paused at its current position instead of stopped/ejected - as such when the overlay finishes the playlist will resume from that position instead of starting with the next track.

Click on the '?' icon at the very top-right of each dialog to get help for every option.

For the Overlays you first need to specify an Overlay Storage Path, see the general settings.

Here comes the screenshot. Open the Overlay Editor from within the Overlay Schedler. Click on the '?' icon to get more help...

That depends on your program resp. Overlay settings. Especially the start toe of the program and if that was started by the program scheduler as well or if you started that manually or have in in manual live assist mode before?!
EG. show some screenshots of your program, overlay and explain if your scheduler is currently running and you mode…
