CONTAINER...

On this page, we'll explain the various commands for managing players in PlayoutONE's Audio Engine, also known as "containers".

SET CONTAINER QUEUE "container name",...

Sets the queue and containers to be used by the sequencer. This is for PlayoutONE. You provide a comma-separated list of all containers in the order you want them to be used.

For example, SET CONTAINER QUEUE 1,2,3  would cycle items played between players 1, 2 and 3.

SET CONTAINER MIXPLAY "container name"

Sets which player will be used for PlayoutONE's Mix Player.

For example, SET CONTAINER MIXPLAY 4 .

SET CONTAINER NETPLAY "container name"

Sets which player will be used by PlayoutONE's Network Player.

For example, SET CONTAINER NETPLAY 4 .

SET CONTAINER GAIN (ALL|"index"|"container name"),"gain"

Sets the output gain of the specified players. gain  should be a value between 0.0 and 1.0.

For example, SET CONTAINER GAIN ALL,0.8 .

SET CONTAINER SLIDE (ALL|"index"|"container name"),"targetgain","time"

Automatically fade the specified player(s) to the specified targetgain .

You can provide a container name or "index" channel (1-8) over a period of time  in seconds.

For example, SET CONTAINER SLIDE 3,0.5,2  would fade player 3 to half its full volume (0.5) over 2 seconds.

SET CONTAINER SLIDEMS (ALL|"index"|"container name"),"targetgain","time"

As above, fade the specified player(s) to a set targetgain , except in this case time  is given in milliseconds rather than seconds.

For example, SET CONTAINER SLIDEMS 3,0.5,2000  would achieve the same effect as the previous example.

GET CONTAINER CURRENT ("container name"|"index")

Returns the player on the specified container group that's currently playing. If nothing is playing, the next queued item is returned.

GET CONTAINER GAIN ("container name"|"index")

Returns the current gain of the specified container. (0.0 to 1.0)
