NVDA Community Addons/ addons/ StationPlaylist  (22%)

StationPlaylist

This add-on package provides improved usage of StationPlaylist Studio and other StationPlaylist apps, as well as providing utilities to control Studio from anywhere. Supported apps include Studio, Creator, Track Tool, VT Recorder, and Streamer, as well as SAM, SPL, and AltaCast encoders.

For more information about the add-on, read the add-on guide.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • This add-on requires StationPlaylist suite 5.40 or later.
  • Some add-on features will be disabled or limited if NVDA is running in secure mode such as in logon screen.
  • For best experience, disable audio ducking mode.
  • Starting from 2018, changelogs for old add-on releases will be found on GitHub. This add-on readme will list changes from version 23.02 (2023) onwards.
  • While Studio is running, you can save, reload saved settings, or reset add-on settings to defaults by pressing Control+NVDA+C, Control+NVDA+R once, or Control+NVDA+R three times, respectively. This is also applicable to encoder settings - you can save and reset (not reload) encoder settings if using encoders.
  • Many commands will provide speech output while NVDA is in speak on demand mode (NVDA 2024.1 and later).

Track and microphone alarms

By default, NVDA will play a beep if five seconds are left in the track (outro) and/or intro, as well as to hear a beep if microphone has been active for a while. To configure track and microphone alarms, press Alt+NVDA+1 to open alarms settings in Studio add-on settings screen. You can also use this screen to configure if you'll hear a beep, a message or both when alarms are turned on.

الباحث عن المسارات

If you wish to quickly find a song by an artist or by song name, from track list, press Control+NVDA+F. Type or choose the name of the artist or the song name. NVDA will either place you at the song if found or will display an error if it cannot find the song you're looking for. To find a previously entered song or artist, press NVDA+F3 or NVDA+Shift+F3 to find forward or backward.

ملحوظة: الباحث عن المسارات حساس لحالة الأحرف.

مستكشف التنويهات

وفقا لإصدار البرنامج, يتيح لك برنامج SPL تعيين مفتاح ل96 تنويه. يتيح لك NVDA سماع أي تنويه معين لهذه الأوامر.

To learn cart assignments, from SPL Studio, press Alt+NVDA+3. Pressing the cart command once will tell you which jingle is assigned to the command. Pressing the cart command twice will play the jingle. Press Alt+NVDA+3 to exit cart explorer. See the add-on guide for more information on cart explorer.

تحليل وقت المسار

للحصول على مدة المسارات المحددة لتشغيلها, قم بتحديد المسار الحالي لبدأ عملية تحليل الوقت (من مساعد spl اضغط على f9), ثم اضغط على f10 بعد الانتهاء من التحديد.

Columns Explorer

By pressing Control+NVDA+1 through 0, you can obtain contents of specific columns. By default, these are first ten columns for a track item (in Studio: artist, title, duration, intro, outro, category, year, album, genre, mood). For playlist editor in Creator and Remote VT client, column data depends on column order as shown on screen. In Studio, Creator's main track list, and Track Tool, column slots are preset regardless of column order on screen and can be configured from add-on settings dialog under columns explorer category.

Track column announcement

You can ask NVDA to announce track columns found in Studio's playlist viewer in the order it appears on screen or using a custom order and/or exclude certain columns. Press NVDA+V to toggle this behavior while focused on a track in Studio's playlist viewer. To customize column inclusion and order, from column announcement settings panel in add-on settings, uncheck "Announce columns in the order shown on screen" and then customize included columns and/or column order.

Playlist snapshots

You can press SPL Assistant, F8 while focused on a playlist in Studio to obtain various statistics about a playlist, including number of tracks in the playlist, longest track, top artists and so on. After assigning a custom command for this feature, pressing the custom command twice will cause NVDA to present playlist snapshot information as a webpage so you can use browse mode to navigate (press escape to close).

Playlist Transcripts

Pressing SPL Assistant, Shift+F8 will present a dialog to let you request playlist transcripts in numerous formats, including in a plain text format, an HTML table or a list.

محاورة الإعدادات

From studio window, you can press Alt+NVDA+0 to open the add-on configuration dialog. Alternatively, go to NVDA's preferences menu and select SPL Studio Settings item. Not all settings are available if NVDA is running in secure mode.

Broadcast profiles dialog

You can save settings for specific shows into broadcast profiles. These profiles can be managed via SPL broadcast profiles dialog which can be accessed by pressing Alt+NVDA+P from Studio window.

نمط اللمس لتطبيق SPL

If you are using Studio on a touchscreen computer with NVDA installed, you can perform some Studio commands from the touchscreen. First use three finger tap to switch to SPL mode, then use the touch commands listed above to perform commands.

Version 24.03

  • Compatible with NVDA 2024.1.
  • NVDA 2023.3.3 or later is required.
  • Support for StationPlaylist suite 6.10.
  • Most commands support speak on demand (NVDA 2024.1) so announcements can be spoken in this mode.

Version 24.01

  • The commands for the Encoder Settings dialog for use with the SPL and SAM Encoders are now assignable, meaning that you can change them from their defaults under the StationPlaylist category in NVDA Menu > Preferences > Input Gestures. The ones that are not assignable are the connect and disconnect commands. Also, to prevent command conflicts and make much easier use of this command on remote servers, the default gesture for switching to Studio after connecting is now Control+Shift+F11 (previously just F11). All of these can of course still be toggled from the Encoder Settings dialog (NVDA+Alt+0 or F12).

Version 23.05

  • To reflect the maintainer change, the manifest has been updated to indicate as such.

Version 23.02

  • NVDA 2022.4 or later is required.
  • Windows 10 21H2 (November 2021 Update/build 19044) or later is required.
