Hi Massimo, Hi Everyone

I like Qlight very much and i command it with Chataigne.

In shows mode, when i use the space bar, the show run.
With a new hit on the space bar, the show pause.
With a third hit on the space bar, the show continue from where it paused.

With OSC command, /startfunction:1, the show play, pause and restart from the beginning.

All my show is coded but i'd like to have a solution if i'm obliged to put it on pause and to continue it from this state after some minutes by example.

Is there a solution ?

Many thanks in advance
Best regards
Greg.

Hi, what you do in the Show manager is not what you can do in the Virtual Console.
To pause/resume a Show you need to put it in a Cue List widget as a Chaser step with the proper duration.

Hi
My show will normally play from start to end without any stop.
But if i have a problem, i'd like to pause it at any time and continue to play it after resolving the problem.

Is there a way to do that with an OSC command as if i was pressing the space bar ?

Many thanks in avance.
Greg.

There are no external input controls for the show part of QLC+.
If you create a chaser with the same steps, you can pause while it is running.
