Hi, For our news we use a container with the news-file. If a deejay is in assist mode, and switches to auto mode during this news, the play-out of this file is ended and starts the next track. Has anyone this problem too?

I tried to reproduce this, but here it’s still running after switching between Assist and Auto. But it seems there are anyway some more problems with the News-Container. For example I can’t use it for automation.

Is the track after the newscontainer a soft/hard fixed timed item? This could be a cause

Hey, I have found out when things are going wrong! Player A: is playing the outtro of a song Player B is playing the jingle ( or started news) At pressing Auto, both players stop and the next track in the playlist is started. In my opionion the last started track should continu playing in auto …

Hi, do you have any clue on that problem ? I have the same problem but without containers ! In assist mode, when I put AUTO ON while the last track is playing at the end of the show, the track is skipped to the next item in playlist, but not every time… very strange. I use both players in automati…

@yann_primitive There is an option to “automatically jump to fix-timed elements in automation mode” (translated from the german version) in Config → Playlists → Playlist 1 → Options . Maybe that causes mAirlist to jump to the next item immediately after going into auto mode esp. when there’s a (ha…

This happened today, a track was remaining in playlist at the end of the show (after the last actually played), when I switched to AUTO ON, it skiped the current to the last. And yes, there is a soft fixed time TOH jingle just after (13pm). Is this a mechanism to catch up time before the soft fixe…
