I think that will work. I'm gonna use the letters A, B, and C for the cuts rather than numbers, to make it a little easier to read. You want something like this: #1 = A #2 = B #3 = C #4 = C #5 = A #6 = B --- #7 = B #8 = C #9 = A If these are always Thu, Fri, Sat, you could also set the

Well, the main thing is whether it accepts a change to the order after the first play. I'm on v3.4.0, too, and it does not accept a change on my installation. My experience is the same as Mike Carroll's--once the order has played, the specified order cannot be changed. This week, the cart

Thanks for responding Mike. So I have 3x 3:00 feature cuts that run 3x each day Thu, Fri, Sat at the same times of day. In order for them to play Thu 1, 2, 3, then Fri 3, 1, 2, then Sat 2, 3, 1, are you saying I need to order them 1, 2, 3 for Thu, then 6, 4, 5 for Fri, then 8, 9, 7 on Sat?

What I've seen is that it works OK -- as long as you don't try to rearrange the cut order. We use specified-order in our Riv 2 system, and it does work for what we need. We have a weeknight syndicated show that sporadically sends us some number of hour-long programs. We want them to play in

I was just wondering if it's safe to schedule the same cart (with multiple cuts) back to back in a log without running the risk of repeating the same cut twice in a row? Cheers, Gavin. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
