Full Version: Next Playlist: Playing tracks in currently selected playlist?

I recently got a G15 and have been setting up some macros for it. I was wondering if it is possible to have foobar loaded with several playlists and being able to play tracks in the currently selected playlist. This is without actually going into foobar, which is easy enough. I haven't been able to do it with standard play and next track global hotkeys. Here's the flow of what I mean:

1. Playlist A: playing track
2. Hit global key for Next Playlist, which will go to Playlist B

Now, I've tried play, stop, next track, but it just keeps playing in Playlist A. Is it possible to start playing tracks in Playlist B after going to the next playlist?

As it turns out, I was looking for a similar trick earlier tonight (in my case, binding the ability to go to a specific playlist and start playing to a Columns UI button), and it turns out that foo_scheduler should be able to do the trick.

I've only been playing with it for a little bit, so I couldn't tell you *exactly* how to do it, but if you set up a Menu Item Event with 'Next Playlist' as part of your action list (I don't know if you'd need to add a specific command to the list to start playback on the next playlist or not, but I suspect you would), and then bind a global hotkey to the menu item that's generated, that ought to do it.

Edit: I just tested this and it does indeed work. (And you do need to add 'Start Playback' to your action list).
