Simple PAL Script

[evul]

I am trying to make a pal script to simply loop a playlist continually and it would also be nice for it to randomize the songs.

 

Here is all I have (which doesn't seem to work right)

 

PAL.Loop := True;

PAL.WaitForQueue(0);

while Queue.Count > 1 do

PAL.WaitForPlayCount(1);

Queue.AddList('C:\Documents and Settings\me\My Documents\rock.m3u',ipTop);

 

When I get home the next day, nothing is running.

I wonder why you wanna loop a playlist .m3u script ?

A .m3u is awesome to being used to play specific music or genres at a specific time .. but all over again .. I don't get it

I have a small database of songs but enough to play through the day without a repeat. I don't care if it repeats the next day. I don't want to have to keep adding the playlist over and over manually. I do not understand why looping a playlist is such a big deal. I play one genre, "ROCK" and mostly classic rock.

Thanks

If you're working with SAM you can manage in an easy way a rotation by using the playlist rotation rules into the SAM config

Maybe that tool gonna give you more satisfaction and at that time a .m3u isn't needed anymore

Manage your time at the "wait for play song / artist / album" config section ... even with a small database you can make that way a random and automated playlist without using your .m3u file

Maybe this gonna help you better ..

make a try out and keep Us posted .. you're welcome

*sigh*

 

I know all about the clockwheel playlist rotation yadda. I have like 50 albums and some songs I do not want in the regular rotation but I want them available for reqest. I think it is pretty stupid that SAM can't do a simple playlist loop. I'll go look somewhere else.

Yes i think you can, go to event scheduler.

event action then action load files to queuing.

Then add play list.

And scedule times.

This is indeed a good solution so far

however He is willing also that the tracks can be requested .. so the request policy has to be at that time enabled but with no huge time restrictions .. otherwise requests don't gonna be accepted when a song / artist is already played in the most recent time

Good luck with your project
