Rotation

To turn on Rotation in Hoster 5.40 do the following:

Open Hoster
Click on Tools\Settings
Click on Playlist

Different Options and what they will do.

1) Manage the singers in a Singers List, show the List on the, left or right. - This turns on the Singer List, and must be on for any rotation features to work. If you only check this one Box, it will work as a Notepad List with More features as you can still right click on the Singers names, etc... and keep all the stats for them through the show.

2) If you turn on "Let Hoster Determine Initial Placement for new Songs added to the Playlist." it will do as stated below.

Example - Singer 1 gives you 3 songs so they are the only one in the Playlist right now.
So their songs will show as as follows:
Singer 1
Singer 1
Singer 1

Singer 2 now sends you 5 songs for them to sing, so now your playlist will change to
Singer 1
Singer 2
Singer 1
Singer 2
Singer 1
Singer 2
Singer 2
Singer 2
Singer 2

Singer 3 Now sends you 5 songs they wish to sing, so now the playlist will look like this.
Singer 1
Singer 2
Singer 3
Singer 1
Singer 2
Singer 3
Singer 1
Singer 2
Singer 3
(Singer 1 only had 3 Songs so far)
Singer 2
Singer 3
Singer 2
Singer 3
Singer 2
Singer 3

Singer 4 Now sends you 5 songs they wish to sing, so now the playlist will look like this.
Singer 1
Singer 2
Singer 3
Singer 4
Singer 1
Singer 2
Singer 3
Singer 4
Singer 1

3) Run Your Show as Rotation - When checked, your show will be run by the Singers Names/Rotation instead of by the Playlist. You can left click any Singers name and hit play to play their next song in their list. If you do not have this Checked, it will play through the Playlist from the Top to the Bottom, of course this is only when Auto is selected. If you are in Manual you would need to click play to start playing after a song had finished.

4) Auto Stop at Rotation Markers - You can right click in the Playlist to set Rotation Markers, by left clicking on them. Once you have set these where you wish to take a break, etc... then your show running in Auto Mode will stop at these Markers.

Right Clicking on a Singers Name in the Rotation List will Show Many Options.

We will be updating this Post with More Information on Rotation, when we get some time.
