How does PlayIt Live handle clock scheduling during daylight saving time changes?

PlayIt Live automatically adapts the clock schedule to handle daylight saving time transitions. During autumn time changes when clocks go back (such as in the UK), the schedule view displays two separate rows for the 1am hour, representing both instances of 1am that occur on that night. This same behaviour applies to other countries that observe daylight saving time, with the affected hour varying by region.

When you are scheduling with Clock Grids, PlayIt Live uses the 1am hour from the clock grid for both instances of the repeated hour, so no changes are needed for the extra hour to play out with your normal programming.

If you want different content for either occurrence, you can override it from the schedule view. Right-click the row for the specific occurrence of 1am and select Set Override... to choose a different clock for that hour only. The override applies just to that single hour and does not change the clock grid. To revert to the clock grid, right-click the row again and select Clear Override.

During spring time changes when clocks go forward, the affected hour does not exist, so its cell in the schedule view is greyed out and marked "DST". Nothing is scheduled or played for that hour, and playout continues straight from the hour before to the hour after. It's recommended to review your schedule a few days before time changes to ensure your programming flows correctly through the transition period.
