Getting close to finishing up my work on the showkontrol automation I’ve been wanting to do. At the moment I’ve got it pretty well roughed out. Everything works as it should, but I’ll be running it through some testing to iron out the bugs this weekend. I made this as a way for the MA to constantly know the state of each player and fader in the DJ’s setup. With all of this information, I can program the show to offer more flexibility and smoothness for transitions. For example, if the dj is cueing the next track but the fader is down, I don’t want to be running timecode on that layer just yet. This way, the MA (and everything it controls including video clips) knows the state of each player and will only allow a transition to the next track if the fader is up and the track is playing. There are of course other variables that are considered but that is one example.

Thank you for sharing this! I try use the %FADERPOS% só send the value but the value just change between 0 and 1.

is it possible to make a video here on Patreon explaining the programming logic behind the “condicion with PLAY and FADER up”? (I know you don't use LUA, so I'm wanting to learn how I can do it)

It is done with Telnet (out of showcontrol) feeding into the command line (in ma2) and triggering sequences/cues with macros to set variables. Have a look at his "everything ma2 live stream". He answered me the (pretty much) same question in the second third of the stream.
