+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
+
+Click on the Calendar menu item on the left side of the screen
+
+Click on the blue New Show button
+
+Under **What – **type in a Name to replace Untitled Show
+
+Optional – add URL, Genre and Description
+
+Under **When **click **In The Future - **
+
+Select a date and time for the **Start Time** and **End Time **
+
+Time is entered as 00:00 where the first 2 digits are the hour in
+military 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.
+
+Click **Repeats **if this show will air more than once.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+Basically if 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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 autloading playlist
+
+Intro: In this LibreTime 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 manicuring 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
+release notes and feel free to ask any questions at our forum at
+[https://discourse.libretime.org](https://discourse.libretime.org/)
+
+Thanks for tuning in to another libretime tutorial. Our next tutorial
+will show you how to use autoloading playlists to add show specific
+underwriting or advertisements.
