ProppFrexx ONAIR User-Forum

Good afternoon

We are using ProppFrexx with 2 different radio stations.
We have a centralized server for planning (playlist prepping, advertising scheduling, etc.)

Would it be possible to allow multiple instances of "ProppFrexx Advertising & News" at the same time? That way we can keep them open and don't have to switch between them every time we need to make a change to another station. We already have 2 different shortcuts with a different -config path to be able to open them.

It would also be nice that disconnecting from Remote Desktop and reconnecting again the audio would still work. Right now we have to reset to audio device before we can playback audio again.

Is it possible to support this?

Regarding the Remote Desktop (RDP) audio - by default RDP uses your local audio devices and propagate them to the remote RDP session and restores the remoe devices after - which of course then breaks the ProppFrexx setup on that remote machine.
BUT, you can and must disable this feature in your RDP settings (under local resources and remote audio settings) - consult a Windows Admin for help of needed.

Regarding multiple instances of "ProppFrexx Advertising & News".
No, this is currently not possible and not needed.
Note, that you can at any switch the Advert Path you like to work on by using the "Open..." button in the main (Home) ribbon bar.
This lets you other another Advert Storage Path to work on. When done, you can open another Advert Storage Path...

But I might add a new option (--allowmultiple) to allow this.
But note, that you need a separate license for each station - already today - according to our license terms!

This would be ideal for our workflow!

Switching Advertising Paths is too cumbersome. We want to be able to view all Advertising libraries at the same time, so running multiple applications would be the best solution here.

We already have a separate license for each station (Enterprise), so that shouldn't be an issue.

In v4.5.2.13 the --allowmultiple command line option is added.

This works perfectly! Thank you!
