Scheduling functions
To manipulate the current schedule, following functions are provided.
11.1 Creating a new main event with import fields and formats
This function creates a new main event at the time indicated by StartTimeDate, with the main
asset AssetId and applying Formats. If Duration is other than -1, this duration is used as the
duration of the resulting main event. Otherwise the use_duration of the asset is applied.
The resulting main event is added to the playlist using OptOut. All asset information is taken from
the asset database at AssetAddress / AssetPort.
No precautions are taken with regards to any items present at the same StartTimeDate. The
caller is responsible for schedule under runs and over runs.
