    I'm new to Airtime. I have just installed 2.5.1 and I've created a smart block with 2 hours of music. I want tracks to be rotated if the show is longer than 2 hours, but even if I choose "Allow repeat tracks" the show stops at 2 hours.

    Is this a bug ? Is there an other way to achieve this?

    Thanks

    "Allow repeat tracks" here means that when you create a smart blocks tracks are allowed to repeat for that smart block playlist.

    Lets say you are creating a smart blocks for genre "inspirational" you have say 70  songs (track) of this genre then "Allow repeat tracks" means a song(track) can be selected twice to be placed in the playlist.

    "I want tracks to be rotated if the show is longer than 2 hours" not too clear on what you mean by this but if you want it to rotate the Airtime schedule way is to make your smart blocks dynamic,then create 12  shows of length 2 hours for 1 day
    For each  of the 2 hours make the show repeat and link for the 7days (Sunday to Saturday).

    Thank you for you answer.

    Let me try to rephrase.
    I have a smart block of 70 tracks of gerne "inspirational" and the total duration is 210 minutes.

    I want to create a show for 5 hours (300 min). Is it possible to assing the above smart block  and let it rotate tracks randomly for 300 min ?

    You could try thinking like this.. make a 7 hour random-track smart block, Add this to a show of any length up to 7 hours long - it will work.
