Automatic Playlist/Calendar using latest pre-recorded mixes

    We are setting up an online radio where the main idea is to get users to broadcast live to the server and if no-one filled the timeslot (or didn't show up) the server picks one of the pre-recorded mixes. That way there will be 24/7 music.

    A DJ can register for an account.
    We want our DJ's to pick their own time slots for the week. Up to a max of two per week. If someone picked that hour already, no-one else can change it.
    If a users plays his set, it will be recorded and saved to the server.
    If no-one is playing, the oldest, not already played set will be played. After that the second to oldest etc.

    I have no idea Airtime will be able to do all this, especially the user registering.

    Thanks in advance.

    At the moment an admin needs to create these manually

    An admin or program manager needs to create a show for which a DJ is then able to use. However, it would be interesting to have the ability to be able to create a user type template and select from a set available permissions, such as ability to create a show, but inability to remove other's shows. This would essentially do what you require.

    This is planned for 2.3 at the moment.

    In 2.3 we plan to have fallback playlists, which depending on how powerful the playlist is (smart playlist), may allow you to do this.

    Thank you for your speedy response. In the light of your answer we are waiting for the release of 2.3.
    As for a DJ registering for an account, we are writing a simple PHP script which inserts a user in cc_subjs.

    Thank you for your response.
