Add possibility to stop a 2-track player playback with an event/snippet
I had a show in the last month where audio files should be started from time to time. this works perfect so far, insert a clip and start it with GO or GO+NEXT or link it with another snippet or snapshot. Great!!
But I had a problem where one longer file is played in a scene and then it will be faded out but the file is still playing.
Then the next scene should be loaded where another file with slightly different audio settings should be used during the scene but not from the very beginning. The problem now is, that the old file is still running when the scene is changed and you can hear it with the new audio settings. A remedy is to play a stop button as a CC. But that means that the show control is a little bit more complicated since the operator cannot run the show with only using the GO+NEXT button, but needs sometime also the stop button in the CC section and this might be time critical (as it was in the particular case).
So, after that long story, here is my feature request: Please add somehow a possibility to stop the 2-track player with an event in the show using GO+NEXT. Maybe it can somehow be solved with a snippet or an extra event or like Send MIDI or something similar.
An Actions Framework as it was introduced with V2.0 of the A&H dLive might also be helpful to automate tasks on the console.
