Info

 Note: Showing avatars can affect system performance.


Refresh playlistClick Refresh at any time to update the list of Tweets. TweetOut retrieves new Tweets according to the topic and search parameter configuration.
Set Play Count

Specifies the default number of Tweets a player, such as BLADE, will take from the playlist at a time for broadcast output. Once those Tweets are output, the player retrieves the same number of default Tweets, when available, for output.
 
For example, when Play Count is set to 20, a BLADE request would take 20 Tweets from the playlist for a broadcast at one time. Once those 20 Tweets have been output, BLADE returns for 20 more Tweets for output. If you want a player to return to the playlist sooner for content, set this value to a lower number.

Tip

Tip: As you pair this option with the Max Plays and Mark Played options in BLADE, you can configure the system to select only the new top number of Tweets out of a playlist for broadcast automatically while allowing the playlist to continue to be built.
