Silence Detector / Setting Alerts as "High Priority"
« Last post by jtechguy65 on August 12, 2025, 10:55:05 pm »
I've recently switched from using the MMS feature via my cell phone provider to using an app called Pushover that has a special email address that I use now for the PiraCZ silence alerts. However, I've come across a problem when my phone is on silent, the alert tone I have designated isn't audible, my phone just vibrates. While I know what I just said may seem like a question for the Pushover app support, I'm working with them too about this. I just wonder if there is a way I can declare "high priority" in PiraCZ or is it something that needs to be set within the email server that is dedicated for sending the alerts from in PiraCZ?

Thanks

Version 4.2.6

http://pira.cz/rds/magicrds/MagicRDS_Setup.exe

  • External Text Sources: a text source can optionally control RT+ running bit: if the text is empty or skipped, the RT+ running bit is temporarily switched off
  • UECP: added section Device Setup - Communication
  • Bug fix: script editor sometimes did not show in the Text Conditions
  • Bug fix: Extensions - Software RT+ encoder has sometimes sent shifted RT+ tags if applied to RDS encoders with XCMD support

Configuration Options and Possibilities / Re: Magic RDS 4 task scheduler comamnds

There are some methods:

To send three commands immediately

Code: [Select]
send connection:"*" command:"IH=000000002002" command:"IH=000000002002" command:"IH=000000002002"
To send three commands in 1 second interval

Code: [Select]
send connection:"*" command:"IH=000000002002" delay:0
send connection:"*" command:"IH=000000002002" delay:1
send connection:"*" command:"IH=000000002002" delay:2

Hi Jan,

I'm successfully trying Magic RDS4 (with Thimeo ST encoder), but I have a problem I can't solve, despite reading nearly all of the information in the PDF help files.

I use In-House command to control some switch interfaces we use at the repeaters  (send connection:"*" command:"IH=000000002002").

The interfaces need the command to be repeated 3 times within 10 seconds to be accepted and executed.

How can I send the command 3 times in a row with a single time trigger on the scheduler?

Thank you very much!

P132, P164, P232(U) and P332 RDS Encoders / Re: Magic RDS 4 with P232U

Enable and fill with text either the Radiotext 1 or Dynamic PS 1 or both. (The Dynamic PS is deprecated and should no longer be used.)

The RDS does not carry information about text layout or method of showing so 'one line scrolling text' is indefinite. Try the parameters until you're satisfied with the result on your receiver.

What is the correct setup for one line scrolling text which repeats ?  USB connected P232U under Magic RDS 4 USA.

General Discussion about the RDS / Re: EON Questions?
« Last post by DaveS on July 29, 2025, 07:33:19 pm »
In the UK, dynamic PI codes are used in this situation.  It seems like a bodge to me but it does work.  You have a single PI code for both networks then switch both PI codes to a generically linked code during the commercial break.  So for example you use C123 as you standard PI code on both networks.  During the commercial breaks you switch network 1 to C223 and network 2 to C323.  You must change both codes at the same time for it to work.  EON will be of no use to you in this situation.

In the UK, Classic FM, KMFM and Heart do this.

Did you resolve your problem?  I have SW version 3.2 from June 2020.  I don't know if that is more up to date than what you have.  Maybe it would fix something.  I would be happy to send it to you if you send me a message.

Bug Reports / Re: Radiotext +
« Last post by Jan on July 27, 2025, 12:02:06 am »
Finally I'm able to reproduce the erorr.

The reason is that you enabled the software RT+ encoder (Overview - Extensions). It should be disabled because your encoder supports RT+ directly. The XCMD command interpreter in the encoder automatically replaces two or more spaces by single space while the software RT+ encoder still assumes that no space was removed.

Release News and Tutorials / ETS: Send TA (Traffic Annoucement) automatically, based on keywords in the text
« Last post by Jan on July 26, 2025, 09:01:30 pm »
The Magic RDS 4 can send TA automatically using several methods, including time scheduling or occurence of keywords in the text generated by your broadcast automation system.

This tutorial shows the last method mentioned. We will use the Text Conditions tool in External Text Sources window. We assume that you're already able to read the 'now-playing' text.

First of all, decide for correct TA control option (see the pictures attached).
Option 1 uses the text associated typically with backgroud sound of the traffic announcement.
Option 2 uses text associated with intro and outro jingles.

Fill the 'If found' column according to the real text (keyword).

In the Output destinations, tick the Text Conditions box.

TIP:
To avoid showing of the phrases in Radiotext, use the Text Replacing tool or create a separate Output for the Text Conditions purpose.

Follow the help file extsrc.pdf for details.
