Player Commands For StationPlaylist Creator
Get M1 to put hard and soft syncs and other commands into the log for StationPlaylist Creator.
Updated
There are two outputs for StationPlaylist in Music 1/Professional. One for StationPlaylistStudio and another for the company’s Creator. Using Creator adds a lot more functionality to SPS, allowing one to manually insert Voice Tracks into a finished schedule, to merge a music schedule and a traffic schedule and to insert Player Commands that tell SPS to do desired things such as “switch to satellite feed”.
The Commands have three elements to them. First, the Start Time; second a single character that tells SPS what the unit is; third a short command string of four (or so) characters. If you are using SPS Creator, you’ll need to get the characters and command strings from that company. Below are the things you need to know to get M1 to include the needed stuff in the log file it produces for SPS Creator.
NOTE: There are now two ways to enter these commands. Also see the next section.
Hard Syncs and Soft Syncs
Music 1 can deliver both “hard” and “soft” start times to StationPlaylist Studio when you are also using the company’s “Creator” tool. There are two ways to do this. One way is to put a ‘command’ into the cart field on a non-music unit.
In newer versions of Music 1, we added our Player Command functionality in the SPS/Creator output. Below are screenshot instructions:
