PlayoutONE Commands
The commands window allows you to define your own commands which can then be inserted into the log, scheduled in an AutoDJ profile, added to a cart, added to a QuickKey, scheduled by the Traffic or Music Scheduler, or inserted via WebVT®.
For example, PlayoutONE allows you to load a stream from the internet for playback. This can be used for syndicated news feeds or just to include an MP3 that may be hosted on the web If this URL never changes then you can setup a pre-defined command from the commands window to call back at any time.
The predefined commands are based on PlayoutONE commands and to add one you choose a standard command from the dropdown, enter the custom parameters (like a URL for the STREAM LOAD command), set a Friendly Name (Friendly names are shown in place of the command itself and be used in Traffic and Music Schedulers) then click the ‘Add’ button.
