Playlist doesn`t Stop

Post by Playout »

Hello Everybody,

I have the following situation:

I have three Playlists at once, and i create a midi command for each playlists that if i press Button "a" => Playlist A begin to play, Playlist B and C Stops (all with Autoplay, fade in and fade out in
the standart settings).

Now the Problem:
If i press the button "a" at the end of the track currently playing in Playlist B or C, Playlist A begin to play and the current played Track in Playlist B or C begin to fade out BUT IS STARTING ALREADY THE NEXT TRACK => So I have two Tracks running at the same time.

I have tried a few commands and ideas but nothing worked. Any Ideas?

Best Regards
Playout

PLS_PAUSE_CURRENT Playlb
PLS_PAUSE_CURRENT Playlc
PLS_AUTOPLAY_OFF Playlb
PLS_AUTOPLAY_OFF Playlc
PLS_AUTOPLAY_ON Playla
PLS_PLAY_CURRENT Playla
PLS_CURRENT_SELECT Playla

Now it works but i really don`t know why, thanks for support. Now I have to adjust other settings like fading time and make some aditional commands.
Hope I do not make the same mistake again

Any Idea?
No, as I do not know which control-commands you are currently using. So a bit more info about these would be helpful ;-)

But I guess, that "AutoPlay" might be active in your playlists and thus you experience the behavior with certain control-commands (which might be totally normal, as AutoPlay should actually ensure full automatic playback). E.g. if you stop and eject a track via a control-command and "Automatic Loading" is also active for that playlist, than once the track is ejected a new one is loaded and according to AutoPlay it will automatically start the next track if none is currently playing...

So you might:
- deactivate AutoPlay and then see, if that changes things
- add the '"PLS_AUTOPLAY_OFF/ON" commands to your midi command mapping to ensure, that only one playlist is set to AutoPlay at a time
