Question about posting a play schedule? Possible using Centova?

Read 15810 times
Great software, but it seems to lack on feature we really need.

We do broadcasts of old time radio shows, so I really need some way to post a schedule derived from our playlist, i.e. a schedule of the days and times of our coming shows.

For now, I've restored to taking screen shots of the play list window in the account centova management page, then putting this up as a image files on our pages, but this is pretty tedious to say the least.

At the very least, I'd like to locate the .lst files that are generated from the centova interface, but I've yet to successfully track these down.

Any help with this?

Thanks!
You weren't able to find them because there are no playlist files to speak of.  Track selections are performed in realtime by reading the Centova Cast database, and the selected track is fed directly to the autoDJ.

Generating a playback schedule that you could post on your web site would only be practical if you were exclusively using scheduled playlists, and had fit the tracks inside them precisely to their time slots, and had configured them to always play in sequential order.  Otherwise Centova Cast would have no way of knowing in advance what track would be playing at what time (again, all random track selections happen in realtime).  The best we could do is block off large sections of the calendar with a simple "General rotation" caption for general rotation time periods, and "Scheduled playlist foo" blocks for shuffled scheduled playlists, etc.

If there's enough demand for this we'd certainly consider it, but it seems like it might be a bit too vague to be useful.
