Text Source - Add Loop Options

[livewireaus]

Hi Jan

Currently you can define a duration before moving on to the next item via the "Go to next after [seconds]" option.

Could we have a Loop option?

Set Loop Wait Duration [seconds]
Set Loop Count Total [Number]

Setting these would void the "Go to next after [seconds]" option. (Greyed out when a loop is defined?)

Example:

Set Loop Wait Duration [seconds]  5
Set Loop Count Total [Number]     6
"Go to next after [seconds]" option (greyed out or ignored)

This function would be executed: wait 5 seconds, then restart, incrementing the count until the counter defined is reached.

We have a playout system delivering text info on what is playing.  Ideally, we want to add other items to the RDS stream (time, weather, news, traffic).  Having a defined loop break option would allow this to happen with some flexibility on timing.

I hope that makes sense!

Regards
