• An 'on-air' machine is now enforced when synchronsing PlayIt Live instances using the Remote Management Module. This ensures only one machine can be playing at one time and is the one responsible for automatic scheduling. It also ensures that 'production studio' machines cannot accidentally hit 'play', affecting the live log.
