The following is a list of user-facing changes to URY's Computing systems over the 2013 Chirstmas break. For Computing technical details, please refer to Ceedox.
Shows & Presenting
- Mixcloud: All shows broadcast from the start of this term will be uploaded to MixCloud unless you opt-out. Shows cannot be uploaded to Mixcloud if you did not complete an accurate tracklist or played less than 8 tracks.
- Obit: We've change the way the obit procedure works. Please re-read the EMERGENCY OBIT PROCEDURE document in the studio during your next show to familiarise yourself with the changes.
Studio Information Service
- We've refreshed SIS to give it a look and feel that is consistent with our website, Show Planner and MyURY.
- The Webcam selector in SIS is now fixed - use it to choose what webcam is displayed on RadioPlayer to your listeners.
- The news tab now gives you direct access to IRN - the source of our national news stories.
- The schedule tab is now fixed.
- The next time you log into SIS, you'll see a Getting Started message that will walk you through the changes.
Campus Jukebox
- Improvements to the magic playlists functionality now we have a term's worth of feedback. A lot less cleaning windows, a lot more good music!
- Requests are no longer exempt from the 6 hour replay rule
- Track requesting now searches on artist as well as track title
- The Campus Playout Service has finally been finished - listen out for us in The Glasshouse and other campus bars from now on!
Timelord
- Improvements to the way Timelord handles there not being another show scheduled
- Improvements to the way Timelord displays DEAD AIR alerts
- The OBIT alert is now activated in the event of the obit system being triggered
Under-the-hood Notes
- We've been making further changes to the way mailing lists are generated. Let us know if anything is seeming funky!
- We've now got far better formal documentation on many of our day-to-day processes. Some of us are going away forever soon, and figure we should leave the freshers with something.
