Request quickplay sections name integration

[Jeshja]

I love all the new functions within AbleSet 3. I’ve been experimenting with different canvases for different devices. I would love to have some more integration of the quickplay sections. At the moment I have to make buttons for jump to section 1/2/3 through osc commands. The name of the button unfortunately doesn’t change per song, so I have to remember which quickplay sections I have for each song. Is there a way to show the name of different quickplay sections that change with the locator name, just like it is in performance view? And maybe even show/hide these buttons for songs that don’t have any quickplay locators?

Also, while we’re at it. Would it also be possible to make this into the stream deck/companion integration?

Keep up the good work!

Hey @Jeshja,

Thanks a lot for your kind words!

For now, the current workaround would be triggering Quick Play sections via OSC with:

/setlist/jumpToQuickPlaySection [number]

For example:
/setlist/jumpToQuickPlaySection 2 jumps to the 2nd Quick Play section
/setlist/jumpToQuickPlaySection -2 jumps to the 2nd last Quick Play section

At the moment, Quick Play section names and availability aren’t exposed through OSC in a way Canvas can use dynamically for labels or visibility.

So for now, only Performance View handles that natively.

Regarding Companion / Stream Deck support, and also the idea of exposing those Quick Play names and availability through OSC, I’ll pass those ideas along.

Hope that helps!

Hey @Jeshja,

Quick update on this:

3.1.0 beta 3 now includes a new OSC path you can use:
/setlist/quickPlaySections

which returns all the Quick Play sections of the current song.

This should make it possible for you to start experimenting with more dynamic setups.

Let me know if it works for your use case!

Hi @agustinvolpe ,

Thanks so much for the quick fix! It’s going to help me a lot. At this moment it only shows the first Quick Play section. Do you have any advice on how to set this up in the best way possible so I can use more than 1 Quick Play section in a song?

Hey @Jeshja,

By default, if an OSC key includes multiple values, the osc function returns the first one. To change this, add a new parameter after the address:

${osc("/setlist/quickPlaySections", 1)}

This number is a 0-based index, so 0 returns the first value, 1 returns the 2nd value, 2 returns the 3rd value, and so on.

Hope this helps
