****** Now To Answer the Question *******
If you are using WHMSonic packages, the only way to schedule a playlist is to use a clock wheel program like the one built into SAM Broadcaster. This does require your computer and software to remain on and running in "Live" mode.
Centova users, on the other hand, can take advantage of the scheduling module built into the Centova control panel using AutoDJ.
Scheduled Shows
Many stations will incorporate some kind of scheduled programming -- weekly countdowns, "top 10" lists, or pre-recorded content to be aired at a specific date or time. The Scheduled playlist type allows you to schedule these shows in advance and have them play automatically at the appropriate date(s) and time(s).
Single Playback
A single-playback scheduled playlist will activate on a specific date at a specific time, play to completion, and then disable itself (and never play again).
You can configure a single-playback playlist by creating a new playlist, then:
-
Set the playlist its type to
Scheduled. -
Select a date and time using the Scheduled date and Scheduled time fields.
-
Leave the Repeat schedule option set to
Never (one time only). -
Click the
Savebutton to save the playlist. -
Add media to the playlist as explained in Adding Media to a Playlist in the Basic Usage guide.
Repeating Schedules
A scheduled playlist with a repeating schedule will activate at a specific time on specific day(s) of the week, month, or year. Each time the playlist activates, it will play to completion before going dormant and waiting for the next activation.
You can configure a repeating schedule by creating a new playlist, then:
-
Set the playlist its type to
Scheduled. -
Select the date and time for the first activation of the playlist using the Scheduled date and Scheduled time fields.
-
Use the Repeat schedule option to select the interval at which you would like the playlist to repeat.
- Daily playlists activate every day at the specified time, starting on the date you selected in step 2.
- Weekly playlists activate on the days of the week you specify (Sun-Sat) at the specified time, starting on the date you selected in step 2.
- Monthly playlists activate each month, either on the day of the month you selected in step 2 or on the first or last day of the month, at the specified time, starting on the date you selected in step 2.
- Yearly playlists activate every year at the date and time you selected in step 2.
-
Click the
Savebutton to save the playlist. -
Add media to the playlist as explained in Adding Media to a Playlist in the Basic Usage guide.
Note that you may change the media in the scheduled playlist at any time. So for example, if your "Top 10 Countdown" show airs every Friday at 10:00 pm, you can create a single Scheduled playlist with a repeating schedule set for every Friday at 10:00 pm, and simply change out the tracks in the playlist every Thursday.
Other Settings
Scheduled playlists support a variety of other features controlling how the scheduled tracks are played. For more information about the settings available for Scheduled playlists, please see the Scheduled Playlist Options section of the Reference Manual.
