We use direttore but we just set it as a noted event, it cues up right after the current song.

 

Hope you get this sorted!

Here is a PAL script for SAM:

 

PAL.Loop := True;

PAL.WaitForTime(T['xx:59:12']);

Queue.Addurl(' *** URL TO YOUR NEWS SOURCE MP3 *** ',ipTop);

ActivePlayer.FadeToNext;

 

Just add in the source to your news broadcast.

[jkemr]

http://skyscape.sky.com/skynewsradio/NEWS/dailyheads.xml

[jkemr]

mmm looking at this >> http://skyscape.sky.com/skynewsradio/NEWS/dailyheads.xml looks like its mp4?? is that not video??(Edit) just looked that is video :( anyone know where i can get just audio for UK ?

[Johnnie]

IRN - http://www.irn.co.uk

 

They provide news feeds, but you will have to pay licensing for it. As is the same, I imagine, with all major news providers

[Johnnie]

On how to install the script;

 

Open Notepad,

Paste the PAL script above into notepad

Save it as news.pal or whatever you want it to be called

Then in SAM, in the default window config, on desktop C there's a window about PAL scripts

If you click the + button I believe, it will give you a window to browse for the script, find the one you just created and it will add it to the PAL scripts which need to be run, and it should run it each hour

[jkemr]

Thanks M8 tryed it but it wont work ?? it dont say any errors it runs but nothing happens :( Thanks JK

[Johnnie]

It will only work if you have a link to a valid MP3 file in the URL area between the ' '

 

It will also only work on the hour

[jkemr]

Thats the link > http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/uk/rss.xml

 

thats what i load in pal in sam

 

PAL.Loop := True;

PAL.WaitForTime(T['xx:59:12']);

Queue.Addurl('http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/uk/rss.xml',ipTop);

ActivePlayer.FadeToNext;

[jkemr]

it loads > http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/uk/rss.xml that in sam but dont play nothing?

[Johnnie]

It needs to be a link to an MP3 file.

 

The link your trying to use is a news feed, it contains links to news stories on the BBC website, but no audio

[jkemr]

Sack it Cant find out what i need to do ....I have found news feeds to podcast but cant find the mp3 links ...Thanks JK

Hi Guys ok i got a pal script to play jingle sweeper whatever every 20 mins. Now it says put the file in station IDS or whatever folder or make a folder ok..

Right when sam is running you can click content and you see all the folders.

I pop a file in the folder and it dont play it? so i look on program files special audio folder content folder is not there? As i was going to pop the file in that way see if that works.Any advice guys Thanks JK

ps. why cant you find the content folder in the special audio folder ?

 

pps heres what i am useing

PAL.Loop := true;

PAL.WaitForPlayCount(5);

CAT['Station IDs'].QueueTop(smRandom, NoRules);

Hey jkemr,

 

AS a long time user of SAM, I can honestly say PAL is some of the most difficult to code, but after some testing, you can get it to work....Here's a script I used before I switched auto systems...

 

Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Sweeps'].QueueBottom(smLRP, NoRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Shouts'].QueueBottom(smLRP, NoRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Sweeps'].QueueBottom(smLRP, NoRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Jingle'].QueueBottom(smLRP, NoRules);

 

That is how my clockwheel was run in SAM, I'll also provide you with Ad scripts and the whole nine yards to bump you up a bit.

 

PAL.Loop := True;
PAL.WaitForTime('xx:28:00');    // Run :30 After Advertisements
Cat['RADD'].QueueBottom(smLRP, NoRules);
Cat['Foundation For A Better Life'].QueueBottom(smLRP, NoRules);
Cat['Racing Spots'].QueueBottom(smLRP, NoRules);
Cat['SaveNetRadio'].QueueBottom(smLRP, NoRules);
Cat['NAB'].QueueBottom(smLRP, NoRules);
Cat['Special Promos'].QueueBottom(smRandom, NoRules);
Cat['Sweeps'].QueueBottom(smLRP, NoRules);

 

There's A Basic Commercial Block, Just edit the areas in between the ' & ' sections (eg. edit where it says RADD, Found. For A Better Life, Racing Spots, and in those areas to get your results) to your desired category in SAM.

 

Here's Another one while I'm thinking on it. It's a 12 In A Row script that can be modified anyway you like

 

PAL.Loop := True;
PAL.WaitForTime('xx:54:00');    //TOp Of The Hour 12 In A Row
{# TOH - 12 In A Row #}
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Promos (All)'].QueueBottom(smRandom, NoRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Promos (All)'].QueueBottom(smRandom, NoRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Promos (All)'].QueueBottom(smRandom, NoRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Promos (All)'].QueueBottom(smRandom, NoRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Music (All)'].QueueBottom(smLRP, EnforceRules);
Cat['Promos (All)'].QueueBottom(smRandom, NoRules);

Where is it set up for CNN news in SAM?

[WayneOwens]

You have to go and grab a script from Spacial's Forums, I used to run it faithfully, as I designed the script.

 

If I can redesign it somehow, I'll put it in here for everyone to grab a hold of that wants it

[Trueheart]

I'll look into that soon as I'd love to run some news spots.
