one fader 2 players

[radio42]

I still don’t understand why exactly you need a new macro to get a time position Info of a standby player?!
Isn’t the Info, that a standby player is playing enough?!
And if not, why?

Hi Bernd,
The situation is such that when I move the fader of the mixing console up, the track starts playing in the standby player. As soon as I close the fader again, the track is removed from the standby player.
It sometimes happens that one quickly starts the fader after an announcement from the presenter and then quickly closes the fader again and then the track disappears.
by entering a time of 5 seconds, so within these 5 seconds the fader stops and the track remains loaded, above these 5 seconds the track may disappear.
Hopefully I have explained it well what I want to achieve.

I also use this function in the playlist players and it works perfectly there.

Why do you eject the Standby?
I would stop and rewind the standby player!

That would completely solve your issue. As for a standby you would need to load a new track manually anyhow. So just don’t eject it when you close the fader.

Oke Bernd, i tried your suggestion (Why do you eject the Standby?
I would stop and rewind the standby player!)

Thanks!

Is this also possible with a velleman interface? And how would the iov file look like?

[radio42]

Yes, this is also possible with the Velleman. The control-commands are exactly the same as above. I don’t have a iov file, but it is a simple mapping of the Velleman state to the command. Very simple.

Hmm i can not get it working.
This is my iov file

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="ProppFrexx">
      <section name="VELLEMANMAP" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System, Culture=neutral, Custom=null" />
    </sectionGroup>
  </configSections>
  <ProppFrexx>
    <VELLEMANMAP>
      <add key="0" value="0|1|EXEC_COMMAND2 ${autoplay}|Equals(1)|PLS_CURRENT_PAUSENOFADE_CURRENT${_NL}EXEC_COMMAND2 ${autoplay}|Equals(0)|EXEC_COMMAND2 ${cpltimepos}|Greater(5.0)|PLS_CURRENT_EJECT_CURRENT${_NL}EXEC_COMMAND2 ${autoplay}|Equals(0)|EXEC_COMMAND2 ${cpltimepos}|Less(5.0)|PLS_CURRENT_PAUSENOFADE_CURRENT${_NL}EXEC_COMMAND2 ${autoplay}|Equals(1)|SHOW_COUNTDOWN 3600|PLAYLIST IS STILL ON AUTOMATIC" />

</configuration>

You do not edit the file directly. But ist the GPIO Client to configure it!
Then you can use the ‘Monitor…’ button to check its operation.
I don’t have a Velleman and Behringer myself, so I can not send you an example …

[robbedoeske]

I did not edit de file, just configured the gpio client with the settings above. When i click on "test" button it shows oke, but it just do not work properly. No song is starting from the playlist. When i activate pin 0 it shows the rules in monitor so that is working.

[radio42]

So it did trigger the command? Eg. start with something simple. Eg. EXEC_SHOW_ALERT

However, I don’t know what you want to achieve, but the user here was looking for something very special. And in the above sequence he only PAUSES or EJECTS the current player, but never STARTS it.
