How does PlayoutONE handle daylight savings?

To deal with daylight savings In PlayoutONE, follow the guide below:

🌍 If your clocks change around 1AM

This applies in most European countries and territories.

⬅️ Autumn fallback

Clocks fall back at 01:59:59 to 01:00:00
Remove all Time markers and RunToTime commands in the 01:00 Hour.
Your Music Scheduling software should create two hours' worth of content in the 01:00 playlist. PlayoutONE will then happily play the contents of the 01:00 playlist as normal.
If using AutoDJ in PlayoutONE Standard, then it will automatically reselect your 01:00 hour when the clocks fall back.

➡️ Spring forward

Clocks spring forward at 00:59:59 to 02:00:00
Your Music Scheduling software should not schedule a 01:00 playlist. This allows PlayoutONE to skip over the 01:00:00 naturally into the 02:00:00 hour.
If using AutoDJ in PlayoutONE Standard, then it will automatically select your 02:00:00 hour when the clocks spring forward at 00:59:59

🎵 Third-party music schedulers

Using Music1?

Find out how to accomplish the above by reading this blog post from Steve Warren.

Using MusicMaster?

MusicMaster doubles any extended hours. The only thing they suggest doing is removing any time marker commands (as above) that you might have in the middle of this extra-long hour.

Delete it in the Schedule editor. This may also have an adverse effect on your extremely small categories.
