Overlay already starts playing when fading out.

Hi Bernd,

Since the last update the 'flow' between the running playlist program and overlay are not correct.
Had this never before.

When the overlay starts it used to fade out the running track first and then start te overlay.

But now the track is fading and starting the overlay at the same time!

Mixing settings overlay are 0
mixer settings program are 1000 (should this be 0 too?)

yes it has slightly changed in the last update but I guess it it now correct and consistent with others.
Please check the MixingTime setting and what is written in the News Anouncement.
I means start with the Next cue point of the current track.
But I will double check this.
What is the start type of your overlay?

This used to work fine, nothing has changed.

Yes, you are right, the combo of StartType = 'EndsAt' or 'Fixed' and MixingTime = 0 indeed had an incorrect segue.
It is now corrected in the new v3.0.14.33!

Still having the same issues after update.
The combo starttype = endsat or fixed mixing time = 0 (for both, program and overlay)

But still when fade out starts the overlay player starts also directly, resulting in 2 audio tracks played to one and other.

I've added a test file so you can see what is happening.

With your above settings both will play together for 2 seconds!
The playlist track will fade-out for 5 seconds and after 3 seconds the over will start.
I tested at here and got exactly those result! Do you experience something different?
If you get something different...I am sorry, I can not reproduce that here.
If you have the chance please make a video to take a look at.
Else we must do a TeamViewer session in a couple of days...as now I am unavailable due to Christmas time!

What if you directly specify the MixingTime as needed?
E.g. MixingTime = -1500 ms?

This is what happening.
Do need to made some changes to the manual fading settings or the mixing time.

First I had mixing time = 1000 for overlay and program.
But this cutted off some audio at the end of the overlay, so I've changed it to '0'

But when it's on 0 now this happens (video)

I want it to fade until the audio from the running track is almost gone and then start the overlay.

Why does your playlist get closed immediately ?!

What does happen when you set a MixingTime to -1500 in the overlay?
