fadeout in a cue doesn't seem to fade out. #220

Closed roboknight closed 2 years ago

roboknight commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug Any attempt to fade out an audio cue when the audio ends in the middle of the audio file always ends abruptly with no fade out.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add any audio cue that has a reasonable length (at least 10 seconds or so)
  2. Set the stop time somewhere in the middle of the audio cue.
  3. Set the cue to fadeoutstop or fadeoutpause
  4. Set the fadeout time to 1 or 2 seconds.
  5. run the cue

Expected behavior The audio should fade out.

Screenshots N/A

Linux Show Player version:

OS Version

Additional context fadein seems to work as expected. I've tried other versions. Different files, and different methods. I did eventually find a way to trigger something else to generate a fadeout, but this seemed extrodinarily complex, given that every cue can have its own fadeout. If this does actually, work, then maybe I've done something wrong, but I don't see what.

As a current workaround: Set a volume control cue. Execute it on the start of the cue you want to fade. Set the volume control cue to prewait for the length of time until fadeout. Set the fadeout duration.

This seems to implement the above. But it goes out of the way to execute what appears to be within the cue.

Hi! Thanks for the report.

What you describe it's unfortunately not yet supported, see issue #101 for more details.

Thanks for pointing me to the duplicate. I searched for “fade-out” and it never came up. Again, thanks.
