    Hello,
    Is there an option to generate a playlist with a given duration.
    We will schedule music AFTER the news which is downloaded in a file (5
    minutes before the next hour) and the music after this news must go
    until the station-tune of the next hour so its duration is not always
    the same.
    Maybe there is a possibility to schedule a file after the news from e.g.
    59 minutes where the next file (station-tune and hour-beeps) start at a
    given time (so it starts BEFORE the end of the previous like in Raduga =
    windows).
    Thanks,
    Han.

    We are now in test to use campcaster for local (ether) radio in The
    Netherlands 24X7.



    ps,

    Thanks Juan and Douglas for the soundcard settings but...
    option change in the modprobe.d/als-base won't help I replaced the index
    from -2 to 0,1,2 ect but still the order after reboot is unpredictable
    I will look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards en if there is a
    solution I let you know.

  • Hi Han,

    The functionality you have described currently isn't supported in
    Campcaster.

    As far as I can see, you would need a couple of things in order for this to
    work. Many of these things have already been described as feature requests
    at
    http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&order=type&desc=1

    1) The ability to switch over to the news automatically (either by
    switching to a network stream or a satellite stream, see "Use of a
    satellite stream", at
    http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/ticket/1376

    2) The ability to start a playlist based on an external trigger, in this
    case the end of the network stream. The problem will come when you need to
    fade out the playlist to start the next news broadcast, which presumably
    would be at a set time.

    But we'd very much like to see Campcaster do these things; maybe this is
    something for your station to commission or make?
