SAM BROADCASTER Time format.


Recommended Posts

Hello all, I tried registering at Spacialaudio.com forum board, however, their registration web page fails to send me an account activation conformation email, although it states my account exists.

 

I have downloaded the latest copy for evaluation from their website and noticed the clock is in what I call military time, such as 13:00 instead of 1:00 PM. I looked through the included help manuals and see no options available to change the clock to display the standard time format.

 

 

What I want is for the digital clock numbers to display 1:00 PM, 5:00 PM Etc. Where or how can this be changed?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Bruce.

Bruce - what was your username on the Spacial forums?

Can try to get you sorted out there...

 

MrBruce was the name.

 

I try to log in and it says my account has to be activated via an email that was sent to my email. Trouble is, I never received the email and it was not in my spam folder either.

 

My email is active in their data base, because when I try to create another account it says my email is already registered pending activation.

 

I can possibly PM you my email address for clarification if you wish me too and thanks for your thoughtfulness.

 

Bruce.

I tried creating an account again at this URL

 

http://support.spacialaudio.com/forums/ucp.php?mode=register

 

It says my user name and email are already in use. So that means my previous data was sent to the server and is in the data base.

 

Upon attempting to log in I click the red tab at the top right that is labeled LOGIN

 

 

At Log In As.....I choose Forum .... since I am not yet a client, affiliate or help desk person..yet.

 

 

Then I enter my name MrBruce and password. Then it says this....The specified username is currently inactive. If you have problems activating your account, please contact a board administrator.

 

This brings me to my next problem...How to contact a board administor... The support emails are for product support, not forum board registration.

 

Most forum board registration scripts allow for the resending of the conformation email to the registers email address. There is no such option.

Haven't heard anything as of yet from Spacial.

 

It would be sad if my trial ran out before I am able to figure out how to use the program effectively.

 

I want to know more about scheduling station IDs so they play every so many songs. right now the ID is playing after every other mp3 played. In other words it's ID, song, ID, song. I know how to add the script, its just not knowing how to make the ID play after a predetermined number of Mp3s.

 

 

Under playlist rotation rules I have.....

 

Clockwheel logic module v2.0.0

 

 

The code I use is

 

Cat['Playlist'].QueueBottom(smRandom, EnforceRules);

Dir['C:\users\MrBruce\Music\Music'].QueueBottom(smRandom, EnforceRules);

Cat['Station IDs (All)'].QueueBottom(smRandom, NoRules);

 

 

It is set to 5 songs in queue

Also do not play same track within 3000 minutes.

 

I have 99:45:65 hours of MP3s in my music folder.

 

I suppose someone could offer some assistance here, since Spacial has not responded to my request for forum access.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

 

Sorry about the Icon showing up in the code above.

Thank you for the PAL script Country, I entered the code and it says waiting for 5 songs to play, which is the number I chose for the count.

 

I'll let you know how it works out once I put SAM back into the program schedule.

Just an FYI, the PAL logic counts ALL tracks whether they are songs or IDs/jingles/Ads etc as a track so your PAL will count non "songs" as part of it's waitcount, just something to be aware of.

Okay well the PAL only works if I select it and choose RUN after that once the five tracks play and the ID is played, it does not attempt to play it again there-after.

 

What I want is the Station ID to play after 5 MP3's then another 5 MP3's then station ID again automatically continuously as long as SAM is running.

 

Like a 5 in a row station does.

 

I did set that script as automatic, but it only executes once and then it's all MP3s there after.

 

 

Right now I'm using Vinyl on my two turntables, so I have time to work a solution out.

 

 

My station is terrestrial FM radio station, not web based, so in other words, my signal is broadcasted over the FM broadcast band.

 

This morning SAM got stuck on the station ID for two hours straight, not good when your broadcasting over the area's FM broadcast band.

PAL.WaitForPlayCount(4);
Cat['Station IDs (All)'].QueueBottom(smRandom, NoRules);
//
// Keep this puppy running
//
PAL.Loop := true;

 

Giving it a test run. Keeps fingers crossed.

 

 

Will let you know if it works.

Country your script has been running flawlessly for over 12 hours now :thumbup:

 

Thanks very much!

 

Now if I can get the time to play out at various times. I have tons of temperature and time files from when I was using ZaraRadio Free edition. It worked well, I am trying SAM because it comes with adjustable audio properties such as EQ and AGP. My station needs this because my music library consists of 5 different genres, from soft rock to heavy metal.
