Auto-step to next item based on rules
It would be cool to have a simple automation feature so that each item could have a rule which would determine when the Client should step to the next event.
These rules could be:
- For video/audio: reach the EOF (or a minus offset from EOF)
- For video/audio: loop a certain number of times
- For all media: continue after x seconds.
Hopefully this is easier with OSC support.

ive made autostep available for all rundown items except audio. (there is no osc support for audio yet?) videos can loop x number of times, and play till x seconds from eof. Its only on my git at https://github.com/politieman/Client now, could use some testing.
Auto step is only for grouped items.
All mixer rundown items will play directly, or after the set delay, after the previous item. This makes you able to, for example crop an image in the corner of a running video.
Template, Video, Image and solid color items will wait till the previous item ends but have the ability to instant auto step(checkbox). So you can play items simultaneously.
Templates are default checked to play instant since its usually overlay.
Any feedback is appreciated.
This is a great feature. There are a few things that are a little unexpected though.
- With the group selected if you hit play a second time it will queue the first video to play next and then stop.
- While an auto play group is playing if you hit next it will jump forward 2 videos instead of playing the next video most of the time.
Any chance it could be setup to work with templates and custom commands? Right now they all fire with the first video. I would love to be able to show a bug over a video in the middle of a playlist and then remove it before playing a few more videos. So the script would be something like spot1, spot2, add bug, video1, clear bug, spot 3, spot 4.
