Myriad Advert Manager SE - Version History

v4.5.31 29th June 2022

The following issues have been fixed:

• Editing the audio: The media editor was not showing the additional Schedule Plus fields for Type/Gender/Era etc. for Schedule Plus enabled Stations.
• Finding first available Media item in Adverts: Clicking the button to import/edit an Advert to make it automatically find the first empty Media item would cause Advert Manager SE to pause (or even exit) if the first Media item in that range was empty - for example, if the Links range is 1-500, and Media item 1 is empty, then clicking the button to import a wav file would cause this issue.

v4.5.29 8th December 2021

No major changes.

v4.5.28 11th August 2021

New Features/Changes:

Media Editor:

• You can now edit Command Media Items via the Media Editor.

v4.5.26-R2 29th March 2020

No major changes.

v4.5.26 8th March 2021

New Features/Changes:

Advert Log Merge:

• If the advert break placeholder in the Myriad Schedule/AutoTrack Clock is "Locked", then all adverts merged into that break will also now be Locked.

User Security:

• There is a new File Locations option that allows you to specify a different Directory Database Name. This is useful for situations where you need to use a different user database for totally separate stations. This setting is stored per profile, so will affect all Myriad Applications on the same PC.

v4.5.25 R2 15th December 2020

Advert Scheduling:

• When adverts are marked to be played using the ABCD time bands, the algorithm used to determine which hours should be randomly chosen for each hour has been altered to produce a wider spread of hours. Prior to this, adverts that were added at a similar time, and with similar number of requested plays in a time band could often end up being chosen to go into the same hours.

v4.5.25 25th November 2020

Media Editing:

• The Media Editor now supports the additional Categories and Attributes that have been added in Myriad Playout v5.25

No other changes.

v4.5.24 23rd September 2020

No major changes.

v4.5.22 4th March 2020

The following issues have been fixed:

• Editing Media items: The editor window would sometimes refuse to close when clicking the cross to close the window.

v4.5.21 26th November 2019

No major changes.

v4.5.18 18th June 2019

The following issues have been fixed:

• Scheduling items in the hour before a DST adjustment (e.g. in the Uk, 00:00-00:59 of the last Sunday of March) would show an erroneous message about adverts that have expired not being able to be scheduled. The adverts were correctly not scheduled, so the actual scheduling was not affected, just the reporting.
• The Scheduled Warnings report was always showing for Child stations even if the option was turned off.

v4.5.16 February 2019

Other changes:

• Myriad Advert Manager SE no longer checks the SQL Server Memory usage option on startup.

v4.5.15 13th November 2018

Multi-Station settings support:

• Support has been added for the new multi-station settings feature introduced in Myriad v5.15.
• Advert Manager SE now updates the "Last Sent" information for the Advert Logs in Myriad v5 Scheduled Logs.

Merging Adverts into the Log:

• If an hour is missing from the Scheduled Log, Advert Manager SE will now only ask you if you want to continue sending if that was the only hour you were scheduling for. This makes it much easier to schedule if you regularly schedule for logs that are not fully scheduled in your music scheduler yet.

Contacts and Users:

• Performance has been significantly improved for updating the Contacts List for Contacts and Users Directories that have a high number of Contacts.

Directory History:

• Sending and removing logs from a Myriad Playout Database is now logged in the Directory v5 history as well.
• Importing and deleting Media is now logged in the Directory v5 history as well.

v4.5.14 12th September 2018

The following issues have been fixed:

• Editing a Media Item that contained a Media List (or attempting to create a New Media List item) would cause SmoothEdit to exit.

v4.5.12 12th July 2018

No major changes, built to work with Myriad Playout v5.12

v4.5.11 June 2018

Advert Log Path (Database Settings)

• You can now specify a 'relative' path for the advert logs - for example, the default for new databases is now "Logs\Adverts".

The following issues have been fixed:

• Opening an advert window for an advert once it's been scheduled at least once could cause ADSE to close.

v4.5.9 4th April 2018

Myriad Playout v5 Multi-Station Support

• Myriad Advert Manager SE now supports Myriad's Multi-Station facility.
• The first time you open a Station Database you will now be asked to connect it a Myriad v5 Station Database and then to choose which Station within that database.
• When you schedule Advert Logs, they are now sent to that primary Station, but also to the Log for any Stations that have that Primary Station set as it's Parent.

The following issues have been fixed:

• The Advert Window was not showing any information on the Schedule Tab.
• The Play Logs Report's "Save results as a reconciliation file" was not exporting to the correct path.

v4.5.8 5th March 2018

No major changes, built to work with Myriad Playout v5.8.

v4.5.7

Contacts and Users

• The Contacts and Users settings windows have been slightly overhauled to bring them more in line with the V5 version

The following issues have been fixed:

• Clicking 'Schedule' adverts would give you an erroneous message about not having set the Advert Log Location if the database had not originally been used by Myriad v4.

v4.5.6

Database Settings:

• You can now edit the ranges used by Ad Manager SE and AutoTrack SE from the Advert Database Settings window.

The following issues have been fixed:

• Removing scheduled adverts and re-scheduling them would ignore the Advert Break Category resulting in incorrect adverts being placed in that break.
• If the first Break in an hour did not have a Reference time set in the AutoTrack Clock then it would not schedule through to the Myriad v5 Log.

v4.5.5

Initial Release.

Summary:

• This is the first Release of Advert Manager SE, which is designed to work exclusively with Myriad Playout v5.
• Myriad Advert Manager SE allows you to schedule items using the familiar Advert Manager environment but it connects to a Myriad Playout v5 database to read in all the information about each Media Item. It also allows you to seamlessly schedule and send/remove logs to/from the Myriad Playout v5 Log.
• For more information about Myriad Advert Manager SE, please visit http://broadrad.com/atse

New Advert Scheduling Features:

• You can specify a maximum number of adverts allowed in any one break, and/or also the maximum break length - for example you might set it to never allow more than 6 adverts in a break, or to never allow an advert break to get longer than 3 minutes. Or for that matter, never allow more than 6 adverts OR more than 3 minutes in duration.
• This setting is in Advert Database Settings and applies to all advert breaks so should be thought of as global maximum advert break limits.

Licensing:

• Myriad Advert Manager SE will run in Evaluation mode up to 30 times, after that you will need an Advert Manager SE license. These can be obtained by contacting hello@broadcastradio.com

MediaWall:

• You can Import new files directly onto the MediaWall from the Advert card (and edit them using a special release of SmoothEdit v5) as well as reading in information from existing Media items on the MediaWall
• The MediaBrowser lets you easily search and examine the MediaWall

Play Logs / Copyright Reporting:

• You can use the Play Logs Report to easily examine how Myriad Playout played out your scheduled logs, as well as seeing logs for any items that a presenter played manually.

Scheduled Logs:

• Advert Logs are automatically sent to your Myriad Playout v5 database once they are scheduled. You can also easily remove scheduled logs from Myriad Playout when unscheduling, or via the Unschedule window.
