User guide
The track duration, the length of time a clip plays during the playlist, can be shortened or 
lengthened without changing the original clip. Although a duration can be set beyond the 
clips original playing time, the transition to the next clip occurs when the clip completes. 
NOTES: 
•  Clips in the playlist that are in network shares and local storage have known 
durations. Streams in the playlist whether in local storage, network shares, or are 
streamed live typically have an unknown duration.
•  When playlists are assembled offline, it is possible to introduce incompatible, 
damaged, or missing clips into a playlist without warning. The player always 
attempts to play the entire playlist. Incompatible, damaged, or missing clips are 
skipped.
When a playlist is edited, changes are saved immediately. If the playlist is active, the 
changes are indicated by an asterisk following the playlist name until the playlist is reloaded. 
Select a clip or clips and click Remove to remove individual or multiple clips from the current 
playlist. When removing one or more clips, the user is presented a warning message 
(“Press enter to remove the selected clips”) with an option to confirm or cancel 
the operation. When multiple clips are removed it is not necessary for them to be part of a 
contiguous range.
