I think I have mentioned this before but I am sure that if implemented this would be a massive USP for eJukebox. Ok heres a scenario....

Every weekday evening I get home from work tired, depressed, dejected (cue violins!) and I get eJukebox to play all my classical and ambient music. Friday and Saturday evening I queue up all my pop, rock and dance.

Now the above scenario is an obvious trend but I am certain there are others that eJukebox could pick up.

I would imaging a time/day v genre and time/day v artist would be awesome - so I could come home and either get eJukebox to play popular genre or artist for the day or for the time.

How about it folks - you know you want it

Why not? It's not stupid at all, after all!

"not stupid at all" - why thank you Pirk! Did you ever doubt me !!??

A schedule function right? Which could do everything from rebuilding your database at a user definable moment. To go into certain play modes at specific moments? An exellent concept.. +1 Fully support it

The simplest "scheduling" is probably just when to play versus not. Sort of... a "sleep timer". That could be a first step if the whole product getting a schedule function means a long development cycle.

Then, stuff like time-of-day playing could be a 2nd level added on later, and playing specific "filters" at certain times of day a final 3rd level.

Of course, another benefit of breaking this idea down into multiple steps like this is that potential expansions of how to handle genres have been mentioned elsewhere on this board, and I hope that's developed a bit before more elaborate scheduling in chained/tied to it.

Yeahhh Yeahhh... and put in a timer that automaticaly make every 15 minuts a cup of coffie !! (Settable time and drink ofcause)

and also add... you know that stupid animal with 2 long ears?!!

No no, not ochristmas... lol

why youuuuuuuu

Any feedback from Audiosoft?

Perhaps they tan?

I like the idea of a sleep timer...

Lots of thought...

v5.30 Attached ...
Replace over your existing C:EJukeboxejukebox.exe

EJukebox Scheduler is now on the Tools button menu!
Test it out and Let me know what you think.

Thanks Audiosoft, but v5.30 crash after loading.

when does it crash?

it loads 100%, the skin show up but just for one second, then it disappears and ejukebox.exe ends maybe 20 seconds later.

ok a new exe is up...crash gone for you?

yes, this time it works good. i can try the scheduler.

is it possible to add an action like: "shut down ej at 23:30" or "shut down ej after xxx minutes" ?

thanks.

Great! Yes I can add more Actions
Shutdown at 23:30 will be possible

can you fix your forum footer so it doesn't take up so much height?
There is a huge blank space under the dotted line

Excellent! Thanks a lot.

ok for my footer, i'll reduce it a lot.

well it seems the empty space is not reducible!?

Shutdown Schedule is now in the above exe

Thanks a lot for this quick update. i added a shutdown action, but ej crashed again when i closed the scheduler.

updated exe above should fix

fixed! Thanks.

i still get a irreducible blank space above my donate link.. sorry.

v5.30 now on full and upgrade installer download links

Thanks for the Scheduler it was exactly what I needed. I look forward to the next update to see what additional actions you add.

How about the ability to sort the columns in the scheduler? It would be especially nice on the start column.
Also unrelated to the scheduler the list profile would be nice if it sorted in A-Z order.
