I’m trying to discover is there a command similiar to START AUTO PLAYBACK which activates the play in the following player BUT when the playlist is in assist mode. That way i can start the following element in playlist and then switch to AUTO if i want without looking out for the player with next in sequence element and then pressing the play button on it.
For example, lets say im using mairlist only for music automation and the other live program elements are done with other auxiliary systems. That way i can fast switch between those 2 with much less atention.
Try PLAYLIST 1 NEXT.
That corresponds to a click on the NEXT button in the playlist toolbar (in ASSSIST mode), and does exactly what you are looking for.
That works fine but is there a command like PLAYLIST 1 PLAY because PLAYLIST 1 NEXT does at least 2 things: starts playing the first playlist element and “skips” one when you press it again.
I want to create custom button with following commands:
PLAYLIST 1 PLAY (if it exists)
AUTOMATION 1 PLAY
Why not turn automation on first, and the let it play the next item?
AUTOMATION 1 ON
AUTOMATION 1 PLAY
I thought of that but i’ve decided not mainly because load lag issue (network caching on). Even on 1Gbit lan, sometimes it glitches when the list loads a wav from network.
My custom command PLAY
PLAYLIST 1 PLAY (for manual)
AUTOMATION 1 PLAY (for auto)
button should start the next element in ASSIST mode, and do that to in AUTOMATION mode, but it will not SKIP to the next element (accidently) in ASSIST mode.
