HOOK Test

Post by Jeroen R »

I have a script with HOOKS.
To know which tracks have a hook I filtered it with HAS HOOK and did a test.
Once you open it and check the hook and close it again, this file continues to play as HOOK.
Even if you set it back to NORMAL.
Once Proppfrexx is closed on air, all files are back in HOOK. How do I set it back to NORMAL?

In your playlist, you can toggle the HOOK option, eg. go to the TAG editor and remove that track Option.

Or right-click on an entry and select Track-Settings from the context menu.

To persistently save those changes to the file make sure they are saved to the Tag data.
A media library might need to get rescanned/reloaded once you changed the file‘s Tag Data - except you made the change directly from within the Find Window or you opened the media library as a playlist and made the change directly here.

Or where

The problem occurs in PF on air. In SCRIPT Editor -
When you filter an ENTRY on HAS HOOK and do a test, check if your HOOK is set correctly, then I closed it. I now notice that these files play incorrectly, I reopen it, close the HOOK and set it back to NORMAL but it keeps coming back to HOOK.
I have already reloaded the Media Library. Already restarted. In PF Tagger these files are as NORMAL.

The problem is also that a file is selected and it plays as HOOK but nowhere in the script is it stated that this is with USE HOOK POINTS. Also in Tagger the file is stated as normal. This is due to filtering with HAS HOOK in the script.... All files are also fixed there as HOOK and these can no longer play as NORMAL.

Entering Save Meta data TAG when filtering in script seems to help....

ProppFrexx doesn’t play a track with the HOOK option enabled just because out of nothing. It is either defined in the script and if not, it was set directly in the file‘s Tag options.
But glad you found it.

Yes indeed, learned something new. Never close a track while the hook is open.. or the track will remain a hook.
