+ | |||
+ | === New icon set and default colors === | ||
+ | |||
+ | mAirList 6 comes with new flat design icons and color set. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Color Ribbon === | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a new design element, there is a colored vertical band running down the playlist, which will reflect the item color of the individual item colors, as an alternative to the row background color. For many designs, it will be look much nicer to keep the same background color for all rows, and only alter the ribbon color according to the item color. It is also possible to adjust the ribbon color through skin.ini, using '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Multi-Track Containers === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Multi-Track Containers are a new kind of container playlist item. Unlike ordinary containers, items are not played one by one, but you can arrange them freely on the timeline using the Mix Editor. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === News Containers === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Another special kind of container items. Just point mAirList to the required audio files for your news break (intro, music bed, etc.) and the actual news content (which can also be an HTTP URL), and mAirList will " | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Revamped Hook Containers === | ||
+ | |||
+ | In earlier versions of mAirList, we had the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | mAirList 6 takes this feature to a new level. Hook Containers are now an item type of their own, which means that you can edit them at any time. There are new menu commands to add the hook container straight to the cartwall. And mAirList will also use a random 10 second part if you haven' | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Padding (aka. Sweeper on Ramp) === | ||
+ | |||
+ | This has been request by a lot of people - it's now possible to place sweepers over the ramp in AUTO mode, also if the sweeper is shorter than the ramp. We call this " | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Auto-Float and Fixed timing === | ||
+ | |||
+ | mAirList can now automatically remove underrun and overflow sections in playlist, by moving songs up or down the playlist until all gaps are filled, and no songs remain in overflow status. This is enabled by clicking the new Auto-Float buttton in the playlist control bar, or enabling the respective option in the playlist configuration. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Only items with " | ||

+ | |||
+ | === Use the cartwall in Voice Tracking === | ||
+ | |||
+ | When doing voice tracking from the playout software (not the standalone DB app), you can now use the cartwall during voice tracking - it will switch into a special " | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Cartwall Page playlist item === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Another new kind of playlist item is introduced: Cartwall Page. It stores name of an .mcp (Cartwall Page) file, and when the DJ drags that item from the playlist onto the cartwall, the associated page is opened. This provides a very convenient way to include information about all required cart set directly in the playlist. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === File Recorder === | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Professional only) The new [[features: | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Aircheck Recorder improvements === | ||

+ | The [[config: | ||
+ | ==== Database and Scheduling ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Playlist versioning and overwrite prompt === | ||
+ | |||
+ | mAirList can now detect changes in database playlists made by another user, and display overwrite confirmations when two people edit the same playlist. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Multiple template assignments === | ||
+ | |||
+ | There multiple sets of template assignments now. The default assignment, and separate assignments for e.g. "1st Monday in month", | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Mini Scheduler speed improvements === | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Mini Scheduler algorithm was optimized for faster generation of playlists. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === External audio editor support === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Edit any audio file from within the mAirListDB library. Works with any external audio editor application that supports file names as command line arguments. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === R128 loudness scanner === | ||
+ | |||
+ | During file import, mAirList can now scan the audio file and determine loudness (EBU R128) and peak values to be used for normalization. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Improved DBServer REST API === | ||
+ | |||
+ | We have cleaned up and removed the REST API used by mAirListDB Server. We plan to release a public documentation of the API in the future, so you can build your own HTTP/REST based apps to work with your mAirListDB. | ||

+ | ==== Live Feed devices ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In earlier releases, the input audio device for Live Feed items was set directly inside the item properties dialog. In mAirList 6, you only select one of 8 Live Feed Input devices now, and the actual assignment to a physical audio device is done in the //Audio Devices// section of the config app. This facilitates the scheduling of Live Feed items from other computers than the actual playout PC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== DBServer authentication ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | mAirListDB Server uses a new style of user authentication now, designed along the license of the popular [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the server side, there is a brand new user management dialog where you create or modify users and their respective permissions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the client side, no username/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== REST remote control authentication ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The REST remote control uses the same new user management and authentication found in the DBServer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note to developers: Anonymous access is not supported anymore. While you can still use HTTP Basic authentication with username and password, we recommend that you use the new OAuth2-style authentication end point in order to retrieve an auth token, and then use HTTP Bearer authentication. | ||
