Embedding Playlists Within Playlists

You have the option to insert an existing playlist into one that you’re editing. This can make it easier to manage content by simply updating one master playlist that runs in a number of other playlists.

ADD A PLAYLIST

Instead of adding content from the Videos & Images tab, click on the OTHER PLAYLISTS tab. This will show all available playlists which you can now drag across and insert into the playlist that’s being edited.

By default, Laqorr will add the playlist in BLOCK MERGE mode. However you can change this.

Click on the embedded playlist, and you’ll get two choices – BLOCK or CYCLE.

BLOCK MERGE

As Laqorr runs down the primary playlist, it encounters the secondary playlist that’s been inserted. If you choose Block Merge, it will play the secondary playlist in its entirety (including any Auto-Schedule items) before returning to the primary playlist.

CYCLE MERGE

However in Cycle Merge, when Laqorr reaches the secondary playlist, it will play the first item only, then continue with the primary playlist.

When it reaches the secondary playlist in the next cycle, it will play the second item. Next time it will play the third, and so on until it reaches the end of the secondary playlist, at which time, it starts again.

You can even have playlists within playlists within playlists should you require; as many as you want.

This feature allows you to manage extremely dynamic and flexible playlisting of content without having to build long and complicated playlists.
