Myriad Playout Import Log File formats when importing FROM 3rd party schedulers

Importing from external 3rd party schedulers

Myriad can import Music log files (aka 'Main Log files') and Advert (Traffic) Log files that are created by external schedulers.as well as being able to schedule adverts internally.

Most mainstream advert scheduling software already have built in support for Myriad Playout, but if you need to create a custom format within your application then this help article will help you understand the file format for each available log format type.

Attached to this document are a set of documents that explain the various file formats.

Main Log Formats

There are 2 main supported Formats available for the main log and these are detailed in the attached "Legacy Main Log File Format.doc" and "Main Log File Format.doc" files. 

If you are creating a new export for your music scheduler then you should use the "Main Log File Format" as the older legacy one is much harder to work with.

Myriad additionally  supports importing the following formats:

• Myriad "MML" format files as exported from other Myriad systems.
• Myriad "MMLJ" format files as exported from other Myriad systems. 
• PlayoutONE "DPL" files.

Advert (traffic) Log Formats

The recommended format for Advert Log files is the "Advert Log File Format" file.

Myriad additionally supports importing the following formats:

Visual Traffic Log files in this format:

    |06:16:00|0386 |0000|**TIME CHECK|WRIGLEY'S                     |0005
