Hello,

I need option to schedule music to start play music on specific time example to 08:00 and stop at 08:05 and repeat all day except Saturday and sunday. Is it possible?

In the tree on the left, go to Services and Plugins > Scheduler .  There you can schedule a play event and a recurring day, for any selection of days of the week.  The duration part can be set to 5 minutes so it only plays for that long.

I'm not sure what you mean about "repeat all day".  If you mean every hour at the top of the hour, for 5 minutes, I think you'd need 24 schedule entries; one for each hour.

Look at Services and Plug-Ins - Scheduler. You can have it play your whole library or a playlist or based on a search, at times and days you specify.

I can only setup duration when i record stream but i need to play stream few minutes and stop.
With repeat all days i mean reoccur and i can setup that.

^ Add a task and select Play.  You'll have only a few options.  Switch it to "record stream".  Now switch it back.  Suddenly you'll have more options, including Duration.  Something odd in the user interface.

Here is results. I was tryed to switch to record and back to play but with play selected i can't input. Even when I setup manual start time.

Uncheck "Now".

after making changes like this sometimes you need to close and restart MC after 1 min or so of closing it...most of the time MC tells you it needs to be restarted tho...so this may not be your problem...good luck....and it is always best to update to the latest build, your a few behind

It appears that Duration only works for Record Stream, not for Play. This looks like a bug, or at least it is a "limitation". It certainly seems like Duration should work for Play as well as for Record Stream. Playing the entire library without  the ability to  stop does not really make sense.

As a workaround you can play a smartlist that has a limited duration.
