Event Scheduler

Overview

The scheduler is able to start, stop audio processor instances or encoders and change an instance’s processing preset at specified times. This is useful if you want to encode and stream only certain shows. If you need to process one show differently than another, you can use the scheduler to change audio processing presets.

Schedule Manager

Click “Scheduler” from the main “Control Panel” screen to access the Schedule Manager.

The Schedule Events list displays all the events you have created so far. When you select an event from the list, the event commands are displayed in the Commands area. Click the “Add...” button to create a new event.

Add Weekly Event

Event Name

Enter a name for the event. Keep the names descriptive but use only letters, digits, underscore and space characters. Do not use other special characters.

Time (24 hour, HH:MM:SS)

Enter the time for the event (in 24-hour, HH:MM:SS format)

Days

Click the check boxes for the days of the week when the event should be active.

Commands

The scheduler works by executing commands you enter in the Commands text box. As of program version 1.01.29, R/2 recognizes the following commands:

InstanceStart(“instance_name”)

Use this command to start the instance named instance_name.

InstanceStop(“instance_name”)

This command will stop the instance named instance_name.

InstanceLoadPreset(“instance_name”,”preset_name”)

Use this command to load the preset named preset_name into the instance named instance_name.

You may add multiple commands by entering each command on a separate line. For example, you could start an instance then load a certain preset for it. Or you could start or stop multiple instances at the same time.

Click “Cancel” to cancel and return to the scheduler window, or click “Save” to save changes and return. The newly added event should appear in the list.
