RDJ v2.0.0.5 > Say Time Issue

Hello and thanks for reading my post.  I've got Say Time installed and working.  But, sometimes my TOH ID fires on top of the Say Time announcement.  This is the way I set up Say Time:

I created an event called "3 Second Pause".  Here are the actions in that event:

Stop!
seconds to wait|3
Play!

For Say Time itself, I created a manual event called "Say Time"

Then, I created a Playlist with one event in it (Say Time), and saved it.

Then, I created an event calling up the playlist.

So at the top of the hour I see:

SAY TIME
3 SEC PAUSE

Next is the TOH ID

Say Time executes correctly at the specified time.  However, sometimes my TOH ID fires up on Say Time before
it's finished.  It will work perfectly for several hours, then a misfire, then one ok, one bad.  So, I don't know why
it's happening.  The TOH ID is the same one everytime, so nothing changes there.

If anyone would have an idea as to why this is happening, I'd like to hear any comments you might have.  Thanks
in advance for your help.

The length of the time announce can be different every hour. Try changing your time announce to SAY TIME WITH PAUSE in the available plugins. That will stop the playlist while the time announce speaks. Then your Station ID should run properly. (You can even take the timed event out since the pause is programmed into the pause.)

Hi Chip -

Thank you for your suggestion.  However, I don't have an available SAY TIME Plugin with PAUSE.  There are only 2 say time plugins listed there.  (1) Schedule Hour Announcement, and (2) Schedule Hour Announcement and lower music
volume.
