# How to build a basic schedule with LibreTime
|
||||
|
||||
A description of the steps involved in adding a show to the LibreTime calendar
|
||||
schedule for future playback including repeating shows
|
||||
|
||||
**Audience**: Program Managers and Admins
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click on the Calendar menu item on the left side of the screen
|
||||
1. Click on the blue New Show button
|
||||
1. Under **What** - type in a Name to replace Untitled Show
|
||||
1. Optional – add URL, Genre and Description
|
||||
1. Under **When** click **In The Future**
|
||||
1. Select a date and time for the **Start Time** and **End Time**
|
||||
1. Time is entered as 00:00 where the first 2 digits are the hour in 24 hour
|
||||
time and the second 2 digits are the minutes. So 15:00 is 3PM. *Note: 24 hours
|
||||
is the maximum show time and Midnight is 00:00 of the next date.*
|
||||
1. Click **Repeats** if this show will air more than once.
|
||||
1. If it airs at the same time of the day on more than one day of the week then
|
||||
check the boxes next to the Days it should repeat on.
|
||||
1. If this is a limited engagement show uncheck **No End?** and select the date
|
||||
at which this show should no longer be on the schedule.
|
||||
* **Autoloading Playlist** is used if you will generate the content for this
|
||||
show using a playlist possibly containing smartblocks to dynamically generate
|
||||
it. Ihf this is checked and a playlist is selected, LibreTime will schedule it
|
||||
an hour before the show is set to air as well as any **Intro & Outro Playlist**
|
||||
configured in the Admin settings. See other How Tos for ideas about how to use Autoloading playlists.
|
||||
1. **Live Stream Input** contains the streaming information for DJs and if
|
||||
**Use LibreTime Authentication** is checked then DJs can login to stream live
|
||||
if they are added to the **Who** section.
|
||||
1. **Who** is where you can give DJ users permission to schedule tracks for
|
||||
this show and stream live during the show spot. You can check the box
|
||||
next to them or type their name and click the drop down.
|
||||
1. **Style** allows you to select a custom color and add a show Logo for this
|
||||
show.

# How to set up genre specific Auto DJ with autoloading playlist
|
||||
|
||||
In this tutorial we will focus on how to build a traditional auto DJ system
|
||||
where we use a feature called smart blocks and auto loading playlists to play
|
||||
random music tracks of a certain genre during a show. This tutorial is
|
||||
primarily focused on program managers but users who are DJs can also benefit
|
||||
from smart blocks but will only be able to manually schedule them.
|
||||
|
||||
So for the purposes of this tutorial we are going to assume that you
|
||||
have uploaded a number of files of music with the genre metadata all
|
||||
matching a specific genre, for instance, Alternative. This can be done
|
||||
ahead of time, but LibreTime has no way of automatically grouping sub
|
||||
genres and so it is important that you spend some time curating the
|
||||
track metadata before you upload it to LibreTime as there is not
|
||||
currently a way to bulk edit tracks from inside LibreTime. Also once
|
||||
tracks are uploaded the metadata of the track itself isn’t changed but
|
||||
just how it is represented in the LibreTime database. This might change
|
||||
in the future but would only affect you if you were downloading tracks
|
||||
and uploading them to another instance and hoped that the changes you
|
||||
made were saved.
|
||||
|
||||
So we can bulk upload a number of creative commons licensed tracks that
|
||||
have their genre all set to specific genres as one way of getting tracks
|
||||
if you don’t have a mp3 collection of your own to draw from. See links
|
||||
below for some spots where you can procure tracks where the creators
|
||||
gave permission for everyone to redistribute play and share them.
|
||||
|
||||
One the tracks are uploaded to the system and imported we can now create
|
||||
a smartblock that will select the tracks that match a certain genre. For
|
||||
this we will use Genre contains Jazz – this will match any track that
|
||||
has genre anywhere in its genre so ‘big band jazz’ and ‘swing jazz’
|
||||
would match as well as ‘acid jazz’. Any subgenre that doesn’t include
|
||||
jazz explicitly such as ‘be bop’ would need to be added as a new
|
||||
modifier.
|
||||
|
||||
For the purposes of this smart block we want to select 4 random items.
|
||||
We also want to avoid really long tracks that are longer than 10
|
||||
minutes. So we will add the modifier Length is less than 00:10:00
|
||||
|
||||
and now this smart block will pull 4 smart blocks. Be sure to preview it
|
||||
to make sure that you have some matches in your library. This will also
|
||||
save it.
|
||||
|
||||
Now we are going to create a new smart block that plays one promo or
|
||||
station ID.
|
||||
|
||||
Click smartblock and new and then type in the name promo OR ID and then
|
||||
change the criteria Genre to is promo and now click new modifier and
|
||||
then is TOTHID.
|
||||
|
||||
And then change limit to 1 items.
|
||||
|
||||
Now we are going to create a playlist that contains these two smart
|
||||
blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
Click new and then type Jazz with promos
|
||||
|
||||
and then click smartblocks and add the Jazz Songs followed by the Promo
|
||||
or ID smart block.
|
||||
|
||||
Now this playlist can be dragged into a schedule show to add 3 random
|
||||
jazz songs followed by a promo. You can manually repeat the selection in
|
||||
the playlist to create a long auto DJ playlist. For instance lets add 3
|
||||
more Jazz Songs and then add 3 Jazz Songs again followed by a Promo or
|
||||
ID. Now lets save this playlist and go and add it to a scheduled show.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick and easy way for you to manually schedule a large chunk
|
||||
of time. You can also use this as an autoloading playlist.
|
||||
|
||||
Lets assign this to a new 3 hour show. Called lots of Jazz. Now lets go
|
||||
under Autoloading Playlist and enable that and in this spot we will
|
||||
check repeat until full. This will mean that the system will keep
|
||||
scheduling this playlist until the show is completely full. The only
|
||||
problem here is that at the end of the show it is almost assured that a
|
||||
track will be cut off. If you are a web station and you just want to
|
||||
schedule music for long lengths of time you can schedule shows that are
|
||||
up to 24 hours long.
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand if you are an FCC licensed station you are required to
|
||||
have top of the hour IDs as close as possible to the top of the hour. In
|
||||
this case the random selection of tracks might not suffice for
|
||||
compliance.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a station ID playlist smartblock in your intro playlist (see
|
||||
previous tutorial linked below) and you have your tracks broken up
|
||||
hourly this shouldn’t be an issue but it still might result in tracks
|
||||
being cut of in the middle.
|
||||
|
||||
So the best option currently is to change the music tracks to fill the
|
||||
remaining show from the previous selection of 3 items. And then be sure
|
||||
to add a promos or musical sound bridges at the end that are also time
|
||||
remaining but allow overfill.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible that we could improve the way the autoloading playlists
|
||||
work in the future, please check out LibreTime.org for the latest

||||

|
||||
## Text-based Step-by-step
|
||||
|
||||
In this tutorial we will focus on how to build a traditional auto DJ system
|
||||
where we use a feature called smart blocks and auto loading playlists to play
|
||||
random music tracks of a certain genre during a show. This tutorial is
|
||||
primarily focused on program managers but users who are DJs can also benefit
|
||||
from smart blocks but will only be able to manually schedule them.
|
||||
|
||||
So for the purposes of this tutorial we are going to assume that you
|
||||
have uploaded a number of files of music with the genre metadata all
|
||||
matching a specific genre, for instance, Alternative. This can be done
|
||||
ahead of time, but LibreTime has no way of automatically grouping sub
|
||||
genres and so it is important that you spend some time curating the
|
||||
track metadata before you upload it to LibreTime as there is not
|
||||
currently a way to bulk edit tracks from inside LibreTime. Also once
|
||||
tracks are uploaded the metadata of the track itself isn’t changed but
|
||||
just how it is represented in the LibreTime database. This might change
|
||||
in the future but would only affect you if you were downloading tracks
|
||||
and uploading them to another instance and hoped that the changes you
|
||||
made were saved.
|
||||
|
||||
So we can bulk upload a number of creative commons licensed tracks that
|
||||
have their genre all set to specific genres as one way of getting tracks
|
||||
if you don’t have a mp3 collection of your own to draw from. See links
|
||||
below for some spots where you can procure tracks where the creators
|
||||
gave permission for everyone to redistribute play and share them.
|
||||
|
||||
One the tracks are uploaded to the system and imported we can now create
|
||||
a smartblock that will select the tracks that match a certain genre. For
|
||||
this we will use Genre contains Jazz – this will match any track that
|
||||
has genre anywhere in its genre so ‘big band jazz’ and ‘swing jazz’
|
||||
would match as well as ‘acid jazz’. Any subgenre that doesn’t include
|
||||
jazz explicitly such as ‘be bop’ would need to be added as a new
|
||||
modifier.
|
||||
|
||||
For the purposes of this smart block we want to select 4 random items.
|
||||
We also want to avoid really long tracks that are longer than 10
|
||||
minutes. So we will add the modifier Length is less than 00:10:00
|
||||
|
||||
and now this smart block will pull 4 smart blocks. Be sure to preview it
|
||||
to make sure that you have some matches in your library. This will also
|
||||
save it.
|
||||
|
||||
Now we are going to create a new smart block that plays one promo or
|
||||
station ID.
|
||||
|
||||
Click smartblock and new and then type in the name promo OR ID and then
|
||||
change the criteria Genre to is promo and now click new modifier and
|
||||
then is TOTHID.
|
||||
|
||||
And then change limit to 1 items.
|
||||
|
||||
Now we are going to create a playlist that contains these two smart
|
||||
blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
Click new and then type Jazz with promos
|
||||
|
||||
and then click smartblocks and add the Jazz Songs followed by the Promo
|
||||
or ID smart block.
|
||||
|
||||
Now this playlist can be dragged into a schedule show to add 3 random
|
||||
jazz songs followed by a promo. You can manually repeat the selection in
|
||||
the playlist to create a long auto DJ playlist. For instance lets add 3
|
||||
more Jazz Songs and then add 3 Jazz Songs again followed by a Promo or
|
||||
ID. Now lets save this playlist and go and add it to a scheduled show.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick and easy way for you to manually schedule a large chunk
|
||||
of time. You can also use this as an autoloading playlist.
|
||||
|
||||
Lets assign this to a new 3 hour show. Called lots of Jazz. Now lets go
|
||||
under Autoloading Playlist and enable that and in this spot we will
|
||||
check repeat until full. This will mean that the system will keep
|
||||
scheduling this playlist until the show is completely full. The only
|
||||
problem here is that at the end of the show it is almost assured that a
|
||||
track will be cut off. If you are a web station and you just want to
|
||||
schedule music for long lengths of time you can schedule shows that are
|
||||
up to 24 hours long.
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand if you are an FCC licensed station you are required to
|
||||
have top of the hour IDs as close as possible to the top of the hour. In
|
||||
this case the random selection of tracks might not suffice for
|
||||
compliance.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a station ID playlist smartblock in your intro playlist (see
|
||||
previous tutorial linked below) and you have your tracks broken up
|
||||
hourly this shouldn’t be an issue but it still might result in tracks
|
||||
being cut of in the middle.
|
||||
|
||||
So the best option currently is to change the music tracks to fill the
|
||||
remaining show from the previous selection of 3 items. And then be sure
|
||||
to add a promos or musical sound bridges at the end that are also time
|
||||
remaining but allow overfill.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible that we could improve the way the autoloading playlists
|
||||
