ProppFrexx ONAIR User-Forum

Hello Bernd,
Again I have problem by not playing new playlist because of overlay stops. Naw i can't close the group container and standby players. The Overlay player i have on auto hide in this right under the stand by player. Of course i didn't have the Debug Logging on

Under what category I can find the UI restar button?
I did't do that I was done by overlay and it doesn't go back. It cose the stop of the nex playlist to start.

No, ProppFrexx itself does not create new panel container groups or rearranges docked windows.
You can find the reset layout option under the general settings section 'Look and Feel'.

Looks like you have a bit messed up your dock panel windows.
You might still correct those, by making all panel individually floating and then rearrange them again as needed.
But I guess I can not explain that exactly here via mail, as it depends how you grouped them all inside out
So you might simply reset your UI layout within the general settings and then restart ProppFrexx...

Seven minutes from the end of overlay it stops and than I have to manually start the song. When I started the playlist after one minute the Overlay was closed and it played tile the morning.

REgards

Hi Jani,

can you explain what the exact issue is/was.
From the log I can see that:
- at 17:31:15 an overlay with a duration of 23min:44sec. was started successfully.
- it then played for the given time
- and at 17:55:41 the next playlist track was started (EXTREME - MORE THAN WORDS)
- the overlay player was then successfully closed
- and the subsequent playlist track was started at 18:01:11 (Nick Cave & Shane MacGowan-What A Wonderful World)

So that all looks pretty normal to me - actually I can not spot a real bug or problem?!
Can you explain what 'you expected' or 'where you see an issue'?

Bernd

You might now also try the new v3.0.14.40 BETA version.
It is currently only available from the “Check for Beta-Version…” menu item; which is located under the blue question-mark icon at the very top right of the main window.

I have added another check to the overlay player to validate, if the overlay playback stops prematurely and unexpectedly before its calculated (natural) end. I hope this will help in your situation.

What stopped? The overlay? What do you mean by 7 minutes - from the timing in the log files I can not see any 7 minutes gap...
17:31:15 overlay started playing for 23:44 (min:sec) so it is supposed to end at around 17:55:00...?

Is it may be one of those issues, where the underlying audio tracks (to be played by the overlay) are exchanged right at the time when the overlay is about to start and thus the calculated times are getting incorrect?

I think I found the problem but I don't know hot to fix the problem. It is connected with my overlay and my system of work that I just rewrite the old files and now as you suggested always ad new in and out point. Bud it doesn't take those I write but some old. That's why it doesn't played till the end and it's terminated by the playlist or it stopped early and then it's silence till the old cue points. I hope you understand the problem. And there is one more problem that I can not copy track from on to another playlist.
I will tray beta version.
Regards Jani
P.S.
I'm trying to sell a few propp's to some radio stations in Slovenia.
