Creating a smart block
|

Smart blocks are automatically filled with media files from the Airtime library, according to the criteria that you specify. This feature is intended to save staff time, compared to selecting items for a playlist manually.

|

|

To create a smart block, click the **New** button on the right side of the Library page, and select **New Smart Block** from the pop-up menu. Like a playlist, smart blocks can have a title and **Description**, which you can edit. This helps you find relevant smart blocks in searches.

|
||||
Click the link **Smart Block Options** to display the criteria and modifiers for the smart block. The criteria can be any one of Airtime's metadata categories, such as **Title**, **Creator** or **Genre**. The modifier depends on whether the metadata in question contains letters or numbers. For example, **Title** has modifiers including *contains* and *starts with*, whereas the modifiers for **BPM** include *is greater than* and *is in the range*.

|

You can also set the **smart block type**. A **Static** smart block will save the criteria and generate the block content immediately. This enables you to edit the contents of the block in the **Library** page before adding it to a show. A **Dynamic** smart block will only save the criteria, and the specific content will be generated at the time the block is added to a show. After that, the content of the show can be changed or re-ordered in the **Now Playing** page.

In addition Smart Blocks by default will never overflow the Time Limit. For instance if you set a time limit of 1 hour. It will add tracks to the schedule until it can't add any more tracks without exceeding the hour. This is to prevent tracks from being cut-off because they exceed the time limit of a show.

If you want a smartblock to schedule tracks until it is longer than the Time Limit you can check "Allow last track to exceed time limit". This will make LibreTime add tracks that meet the criteria until it equals or is longer than the time limit. The was the default behaviour with the Airtime software.

If you have a large number of files which meet the criteria that you specify, you may wish to limit the duration of the smart block using the **Limit to** field, so that it fits within the show you have in mind.

Adding a web stream

-------------------

|

A web stream URL and metadata can be added to the Airtime library, so that a remote stream can be searched for and scheduled to be *pulled* into a show. For example, at the top of the hour your station may pull a news report from journalists working in another studio. This is a different concept from **Master Source** and **Show Source** remote streams which are *pushed* into the Airtime playout schedule.
