Sub Playlists (pre show music) #121

Open mattotone opened 6 years ago

The ability to add a group of media files as a subplay list, that play one after another in a single cue. This would be useful for adding a large number of audio tracks for pre / post show music.

The group of files would only take a single row in the cue window.

May be you could technically manage another cue file as a media cue? Like, starting this runs the GO action on the first cue of the playlist and performs the actions specified there?

A similar request for a group of cues (you can unfold this folder) might already exist.

Hi, something similar has been asked in past, right now is not a priority, but i'll keep it in mind as possible improvement.

Right now, you may want to use an classic music player, like vlc, and you might control it (start/stop) using a command-cue

I too would like to see a Playlist cue, that could then be paused, faded in, faded out etc. using Index Action cues as required. This might be possible with a VLC play list and Command Cues but I've yet to find a way of fading down and pausing at the start of the show and resuming and fading up when you get to the interval. I am relatively new to LiSP so I may have just not worked out how yet. My current plan for a work around is to create one mp3 containing my playlist for the auditorium music using Audacity.

I would like this function too. It can also be useful for announcements. E.g. I have different sound files: one with general information about a break during an event and some that say "the event continues in 5 minutes", "…10 minutes…", … if I have something like a playlist I can run the "10 min brake" cue for 10 min break playing the general information first and then the time. This is just a simple example and you can do much more powerful things with it.
