# Scheduling Shows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Log in using your username and password using the link in the upper right corner. (If you just installed
|
||
|
|
LibreTime, your username/password is admin/admin.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main workflow in LibreTime is **Upload** media -> create a show on the **Calendar** -> **Schedule Tracks**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you log in, click on the big blue button on the left navigation that says **Upload**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Select the type of media you are uploading (Music, Station IDs, etc.) by using the dropdown box
|
||
|
|
at the top of the pane. After that, either drag and drop media into the area below or click the
|
||
|
|
dashed rectangle to open a file browser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once your files have uploaded and have been successfully imported (as shown in the pane on the right),
|
||
|
|
click on **Calendar** on the left navigation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Click on the blue **+ New Show** button to add a new show.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the very minimum, fill out the show's name and when the show will take place. If the show will repeat regularly,
|
||
|
|
check the **Repeats?** box and fill out the repeat information. Click on the grey **+ Add this show** button at the top
|
||
|
|
of the pane to add your show to the calendar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once your show is created, click on it to open its context menu. Select **Schedule Tracks** to open the track scheduler.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The track scheduler behaves similar to iTunes or Windows Media Player: media browser on the left, playlist on the right.
|
||
|
|
Find the tracks that you'd like to schedule by using the search box or sorting columns and then drag them
|
||
|
|
into the playlist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The bar at the end of the show's playlist will show the amount of time the show is underscheduled or overscheduled.
|
||
|
|
Shows that are underscheduled will have dead air at the end and shows that are overscheduled
|
||
|
|
will fade out exactly when the show is over (the orange colored entry), meaning tracks scheduled to start
|
||
|
|
after this point will not play (dark red colored entries). Click the **Ok** button in the bottom right to save.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Show playback will start and end as per each show's start and end times, allowing you to rely completely on
|
||
|
|
LibreTime for running your station or using LibreTime as a part of your live setup to cover when DJs are not present.
|
||
|
|
When media is playing, the **On Air** indicator at the top will turn red.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can listen to your stream by going to `yourserverIP:8000` or by clicking the **Listen** button under the On Air
|
||
|
|
indicator.
