Is PlayLooped changed/broken?

[tintwotin]

I'm testing our Blender pipe to Audacity add-on https://github.com/tin2tin/audacity_tools_for_blender on Audacity 3.2 and for some reason doesn't the PlayLooped command start playing in Audacity. Has the usage of this somehow been changed or broken?

Code: Select all

Send: >>> SelectTime:End="9.691666666666666" RelativeTo="ProjectStart" Start="0.0"
Rcvd: <<<
BatchCommand finished: OK

Send: >>> PlayLooped:
Rcvd: <<<
BatchCommand finished: OK

Send: >>> Stop:
Rcvd: <<<
BatchCommand finished: OK

I can see that loop playing has been separated into two functions, with a separate button for Loop On/Off, however the documentation is still referring to PlayLooped: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/scr ... rence.html Which makes sense since 3.2 is not out yet, but will there be a way to call the loop playing through scripting in 3.2?

In a Macro, Loop Play can be toggled on / off with the command:

Code: Select all

TogglePlayRegion:

However, it does not fully work for me with Python. The loop region is created, but the loop button is not depressed. Then, on sending the "Play:" command, the selection plays once and stops. Curiously, at this point the Loop button is depressed.

I've logged these issues on the GitHub issue tracker. Thanks for reporting the issue.


Commands relating to looping in Audacity 3.2.0:

• Set Loop In = SetPlayRegionIn:
• Set Loop Out = SetPlayRegionOut:
• Set Loop to Selection = SetPlayRegionToSelection
• Loop On/Off = TogglePlayRegion

I've not found any way to play looped (tested on Linux), which I think is a bug. I'd expect that "TogglePlayRegion" should enable looping, then "Play" would play looped, but that does not work currently.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I'll stand by till a solution has been implemented.

I think this will be the issue to watch: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/3326
