Playlists can have a fixed start time, but it is also possible to "chain" playlists to the end of the playlist before. Using chained playlists is a guarantee that there is no gap between two playlists.
Whenever a new playlist is created via drag and drop or when a previously saved playlist is dragged from the library's "Playlists" tab to the calendar view and thus placed in the schedule, the playlist is automatically set to be a timed playlist (even if the saved playlist was a chained playlist). This is because placing a playlist in the schedule means specifying a start time which is an attribute of a timed playlist. You can change the playlist type to chained but this may mean that the playlist's start time is changed depending on the end time of the previous playlist (= the playlist's start time is changed so that the start time matches the end time of the playlist before).
It is not possible to change the playlist type to chained, if there is no playlist scheduled before that playlist. |
