All Day Playing

[nleques]

Hi...absolutely love the product. It does everything I could ask for, with the exception of one thing - a simple way to manage all-day playing (or 'scheduled playback').

The scenario is simple enough, and would apply to many people - a certain style of music in the morning, another in the afternoon, and another in the evening (just an example).

This functionality would simply provide the user with a way of entering a start and end time for different playlists.

So for example I would set up my "all-day" playing as follows:

Morning.m3u (7:00am-12:00pm)
Afternoon.m3u (12:00pm-6:00pm)
Evening.m3u (6:00pm-11:00pm)

Each playlist would consist of a large collection of tracks set to random so that I have suitable background music playing non-stop that suits my desire for music of different tempos throughout the day.

I've found that I can approximate this by having windows run Silverjuke as a series of scheduled tasks (combined with the --enqueue command line), however it would be far more elegant to embed this functionality within the product.

Thoughts?

For me this is too special.
I play music by mood - not by daytime

But you can write a script an provide it to the community!

This would be a great thing to have. Anyone reading this thread that has experience writing scripts and willing to jot one down? Perhaps leaving it open to "fill in the blank" or even just a sample script that would automatically change the playlist at a certain time so we could see how to create one with multiple changes during the day?

Anyone interested in taking the batton on this?

Service Team, could you elaborate (or better still provide one!) for our benefit?
