I see in a mailing list archive that "SN" is for when the playlist enters the stopped state. I don't actually want to stop the playlist though.

Your use case is a bit unclear here. How does one "turn off" the automation without "stop[ing] the playlist"?
We're setting the "offair"/"onair" status/mode on rdairplay by an audio console's fader on/off state since the system is for playing back automated music for a student radio station when there is no live DJ/host - the list is always running with the appropriate legal IDs and such at appropriate times and DJs/hosts cross fade from/to it when they begin/end their shows. We'd like to have pypad push the actual now-playing data when "onair" and push static generic text when switched to "offair" (this only has to be done once at the transition to offair so I figure it could be done by a macro if the capability existed).
Ah, a dead-roll. Got it.
You can toggle PAD updates on and off by setting the appropriate '
I wonder if one could write a multi-step Macro that would:
Then when it's time for Rivendell to resume "control", simply toggle the OnAir flag back on.
I'm sure the idea needs refining, but I think the concept would work...
Hmmmm. If an aux log can update PAD, that seems reasonable. Make the macro add and fire the aux log update and off macro. I think it needs a delay added before the off but I can give that a try over our upcoming live programming break (college station).
I'd like to be able to trigger pypad with a macro cart that is fired outside of the playlists (either by GPI or soundboard). My main goal is so that I can switch pypad to a "Live DJ"/generic "you're listening to" notice when automation is turned off (I would put this in the same macro that sets the OffAir state) but I can see other uses for this.
I notice that there's a default now/next "SN" command but it isn't clear if what that does.
I see this was discussed here in issue 356.
Thanks!
