Segue settings

4. Segue settings
The default segue option is the segue type that is chosen when a new track is added to the log via manual drag-and-drop or via the playout pattern.
The sweeper segue style is the segue style that is chosen when a track marked as a sweeper is added to the log unless an alternative segue style is chosen via a clock. The segue style can be changed by editing the segue via the Segue Editor.
You can also set whether to duck other players when a sweeper is scheduled. Again, you can change whether a track is ducked via the Segue Editor.

Schedule ahead

5. Schedule ahead
By default, PlayIt Live will schedule at least 15 minutes ahead when the Log Schedule is ON on the main interface. Use this setting to increase the amount that is scheduled ahead up to 24 hours. PlayIt Live schedules in full hours, so scheduling ahead at least xx:15 minutes will ensure trigger the next hours to schedule at xx:45 past the hour (i.e. 15 minutes before the end of the hour)
 
Looking for Priority Stream settings? These have been moved to Advanced Scheduling.

Default track scheduling strategy

6. Default track scheduling strategy
PlayIt Live uses a scheduling strategy when deciding what tracks to select for Track Group clock items or track groups in the Playout Pattern. Here you can select strategy to use. The options are:
 
Smart Selection: Selects a track using a weighted random algorithm. A track played longer ago is given a larger weight, increasing its chance of being selected.
Random: Select a track entirely at random from the track group.
Most Rested: Selects the track from the track group that was played longest ago.
