The default values for Fitting To Time settings are Target Threshold: 30 seconds, Number of Attempts: 25, and Seconds Per Fit: 2 seconds. These settings work together to help PlayIt Live find the best combination of tracks that fit as close as possible to your target time when scheduling up to the end of an hour or fixed time marker.

How the defaults work: PlayIt Live will generate up to 25 different combinations of playout log items and spend up to 2 seconds processing the selected combinations to find one that fits within 30 seconds of your target time. It will select the best combination that meets these criteria.

When to consider changing them: You might want to adjust these settings if you need more precise timing control or if scheduling is taking too long. Decreasing the Target Threshold (e.g., to 15 seconds) will make timing more precise but may increase scheduling time. Increasing Number of Attempts (e.g., to 50) gives more chances to find a perfect fit but may take longer to process. Increasing Seconds Per Fit allows more time to test the selected combinations but slows down overall scheduling. The Advanced Scheduling module is required to modify these parameters from their defaults.
