How to build a Playlist offline
Your system administrator may have configured an Offline Channel which can be used to build Playlists without affecting a Channel which is On Air.
Start just:control and connect to this OfflineChannel.
just:play is now in a state in which you can create and edit Playlists without working on an active (Online) Channel. In addition you always work in Edit Mode.
After finalising your Playlist you can either save it directly to a Watch Folder of an active Channel (which means the Playlist is loaded immediately on that Channel) or you can save it in a Playlist Repository folder of a Channel – in this case the operator has to load the Playlist on the desired position in the Playout.
| Warning |

Make sure that the time where the new Playlist is scheduled is unused on your master playout when using the Watch Folder function. If a single frame is already scheduled, the whole Playlist will be rejected and therefore not be played out. Keep in mind that only TOA XML compliant Playlists can be dropped into a Watch Folder, other formats will be ignored. |
