 +===== Island Luck: Control of lotteries using TVManager Studio =====
  
  
 +==== Filling the playlist ====
 +
 +In order to fill the playlist of the lottery channel, you need to add wanted items to it manually. Most of the time it will be all-day playing generated presets but it can be any playable item. For that you need to drag'n'drop the prepared preset to the playlist section and fill the required form fields: name, start/stop time and "all day" checkbox if the preset should be running all day. Then press "save" to add this item to the playlist.
 +
 +{{ :studio:image-65.jpg?nolink&400 |}}
 +
 +In case you need to override some places of generated preset, you can add any wanted items to the playlist to play at the time when it should override. For example, if the generated preset is playing all the day and you need to play some fullscreen advertisement, you can create new playable item by drag'n'dropping any wanted promo video and set the time when it should be playing. On the playlist runtime, when that time comes, the promo video will be playing instead of the content of the preset.
 +
 +For more information how to add and/or manipulate playlist please check the section https://wiki.advbet.com/tv-manager/studio#playlistpreset-timeline-control
 +
 +==== Setting up new video-on-demand/advertisement video ====
 +
 +(this step is temporary until all critical issues with non stardard files will be solved) To prepare new video-on-demand, first you need to prepare it to meet the requirements requirements of the system. For example, videos with custom/not standart resolution need to be resized to have the height that divides by 8. Steps to prepare the file will be given by the developers. Most of files (especially ones that have one of the standard resolutions like 1280x720) will not need any additional conversions. Most of common video containers like .mp4, .avi or .mov are available to upload.
 +Prepared files can be now uploaded to the server using the control panel. How can it be done, see https://wiki.advbet.com/tv-manager/studio#promo-tab.
 +
 +Successfully uploaded files can be used in playout as playable items in custom playlists, presets or bundles.
