Playing "Song Requests" with their own sweepers

Hi,
Is it possible to play song Request files with different sweepers?
I have special sweepers category "Requests" and I am wondering can I play Requested song with "Requests" sweepers?
I am, using Plugin Action "Load Requests" with Events to put requested song in the top of the playlist
Unfortunately using this method the song plays without sweeper
The button "Play with sweepers" in "Online requests" section is On but the songs are playing without sweepers
I also try to use "Track from Rotation" option in Track Rotation, but in this case, sons are played with current sweepers category, not with special "Requests" category.
Is there any way to play requests with "Requests" category sweepers?

Hi,
I am using 2.006. The only way to play request song with dedicated sweeper from "Request" category, is to add it manually from the home screen. If I use Rotation with the option "Add sweeper in START" the song runs with a sweeper, but not with their special "Request" category, it plays with sweeper from category currently set as default.

Does anybody have an idea how to set song request with their own sweepers?

RFU

You have to set every song in your library with it's own sweeper

In v1.8.2 you can set random request sweepers and I assume you can in v2 but if you want a specific sweeper tied to a specific song you have to set each song individually

This is not yet possible because you can not select the sweeper category.

The only way at the moment is to insert the requested song manually.
Maybe in the next versions, it will be possible.

What exactly do you want to do?
Do you want random sweepers for all requested songs, or do you want a specific sweeper for each song?

I have some different sweepers category that I need to play with different events. For example in the morning I use "Morning" category, in the evening I use "Evening" and etc. I also have special "Requests" sweepers category. I am wondering if there is a way to play a song with sweepers from "Requests" category in the morning when default sweepers for playlist songs are different.

If the song you are talking about is a request, then yes, it will play the request sweeper regardless of the time of day

in a automated system this will not work.
You can attach a request sweeper, but how does the system know it's a request?

When the song is in normal rotation the request sweeper will also be played.

You have to check if it's a request and then you put the proper sweeper in front of it.

If you're using v1.8.2 with the request plugin it does work in an automated system
I created a Sweeper - Request subdir and a Request Sweeper category in RadioDJ
In the online requests tab you can specify whether or not to play sweepers and what category of sweeper to use
