Feature request: Add option to pause after end of group

[Bohoaush]

It would be nice if it was possible to pause a layer instead of clearing it at the end of played group.

A very useful feature especially in studio playout.

Any news on that request?

We're currently not working on this feature, but think it would be a good idea. Pull requests are welcome!

Hope this will be prioritized soon. In a live setting where random clips are being thrown in without time to check tail length, it's not optimal that the output can suddenly go black if the TD isn't fast enough to switch back before the end of the clip

I was experimenting with this more than a year ago and figured that proper implementation would probably require changes in the TSR library, based on the fact that passing some parameters was not doing what I was expecting it to do. (This assumption was probably wrong, as I later found that this is possible in Sofie) Anyway my last experimenting fork in the branch pause_at_group_end_st is breaking some "advanced" features, but if you need just some one video per part playout it should handle that. I wouldn't really recommend this to regular user, but if you really appreciate pause at the end of group and test that I didn't break something you use, it is an option. Just so you know the build in the Releases is broken (don't know why, building from source at work worked), so if you decide to try this, you should build it from source. Also you will probably need to delete autoupdater to prevent this being overwritten by new official version of SuperConductor. And talking about updates, this is based on version older than a year and I don't currently have time to look at what changed since then.
