Read out, which song were played last show

Hi all,

is there a way to read out which songs were played last show? I’m thinking about reading out the visibility status out the setlist, but I cannot find the information in any data.

Has anybody any clue about this topic?

Best,

Hey @Basstor,

you could use a shared variable that is updated every time a song is played. Here’s a project script that adds the current song when it’s played for more than 3 seconds:

const KEY = "playedSongs";
const MIN_PLAY_MS = 3000; // song must keep playing this long before it counts

let timer = null;

/** @type {string | null} */
let lastAdded =
  String(osc("/shared/" + KEY) ?? "")
    .split("\n")
    .filter(Boolean)
    .pop() ?? null;

function addSong(song) {
  const current = String(osc("/shared/" + KEY) ?? "");
  sendOsc(`/shared/${KEY}`, current ? current + "\n" + song : song);
  lastAdded = song;
}

function evaluate() {
  if (timer !== null) {
    clearTimeout(timer);
    timer = null;
  }

  if (!osc("/global/isPlaying")) return;

  /** @type {string | null} */
  const song = osc("/setlist/activeSongName");
  if (!song || song === lastAdded) return;

  timer = setTimeout(() => {
    timer = null;
    if (osc("/global/isPlaying") && osc("/setlist/activeSongName") === song) {
      addSong(song);
    }
  }, MIN_PLAY_MS);
}

onOscChange("/global/isPlaying", evaluate);
onOscChange("/setlist/activeSongName", evaluate);

evaluate();

You can then display this list in a Canvas either using a Label or a multi-line Input element.

Would that work for you? :slight_smile:

Hi @leolabs,

thank you for that suggestion! Tbh I would look for an easier and more convenient way. Isn’t there a way to read out, wich songs are still shown in the setlist and which not?

In our case, we are only using one main setlist and the songs, which have been played, simply disappear after they have been played.

This information has to be stored somewhere, right? I just need to find that location :smiley:

Best,

If you’re comfortable using an undocumented HTTP endpoint, you can make a GET request to http://localhost/api/setlist. That will give you a list of songs along with their metadata.

In AbleSet 3.1 and older, each song contains a skipped property which is true if the song isn’t in the setlist. In AbleSet 3.2, this changes and you’ll have a separate setlist array containing a list of all songs that you can compare to the songs array to find out which songs aren’t in the setlist anymore.

Would that work for you? I’m looking forward to your reply!

That could work out for me! I will soon upgrade to 3.2 (the mentioned behavior should be available in the latest beta, right?).

Besides that, the workflow with the “skipped” property will not work, as we are having every song in the setlist, the played simply are invisible. Can I somehow read out the invisibility state?
