In this tutorial i will show you how to load hourly .m3u playlists in RadioDJ using one single event. This scenario is often used when external schedulers handle the playlist of a radio automation program. For this tutorial, we will use Music 1 scheduler. For this event we will use the "Load M3U Playlist by Date Mask" event action. - First, we need to create a new event in RadioDJ and choose repeat by day and hour type, set the time to trigger at 00:00 (top of the hour). - Add the "Load M3U Playlist by Date Mask" event action, in which it asks for the playlists path. By default Music 1 generates the playlists in "C:\Music 1 SE\Playlists". - The second item we must enter is the datetime mask. For this we need to see how the scheduler is naming the playlist files. In Music 1 we go to System-System Settings and in Automation tab, we can select a format. In my case i use "yymmdd", which means the year, from 00 to 99, the month, from 01 through 12 and the day of the month, from 01 through 31. So for 8 July 2016, we will have 160808. After this, the scheduler appends the hour for which the playlist must play. So we get 160808.00.m3u, 160808.01.m3u, 160808.02.m3u and so on. Now in RadioDJ the date and time is using the standard .NET format, which can be consulted here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=vs.110).aspx So, for our format we need to enter this mask: yyMMdd.HH The m3u extension will be added automatically by the program. - We save the event and from now at each top of the hour RadioDJ will load the playlist for the day and hour at which it runs the event.
