Topic: Non show Music Posted: 25 Nov 2008 at 10:14pm |
Is there a way to pull from a music folder during non show times? I would like to have show run every 15 min for 1 song and then go back to running various music, sound bites and station id's during the remaining time.

For my pre-show music I used Audicity and created a 30 minute file of selected music. Then crerated a .dls sequence for this - no events - no lights. Then the no-lights sequence can be scheduled in the scheduler.

I've been considering this for ages (from folder or URL like PC radio) but didn't want to break something so close to the season. Maybe next week I'll throw together a seperate companion app that monitors the borealis.dat and plays music from the selected location when a show isn't running (that way no code change is required in Borealis).

You should call it, "Northern Lights Audio Player".

I think that it should go back to Aurora Sequencer and Borealis Scheduler, instead of calling it "the scheduler".
That's just me though.

Actually, "the scheduler" now prominently says "Borealis" on the splash screen. Before that, not many people knew about Borealis being the official name of the scheduler; it was simply known as Aurora's scheduler. |

Any word on the add-on to play music during non show times. This would be a great thing to have.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I'd like to see it happen as well. It might be nice as a little stand alone program so that Borealis isn't messed around with too much.

I have a version in the lab built into the scheduler but it hasn't undergone any real world testing yet.
The lab version can launch playlist files, including those on the web like PC radio.
