Media Player playback normally conforms to typical playlist practice – each item in the playlist
playing back in orderly succession. When Single mode is enabled, playback stops when the Out
Point of the current playlist item is reached (unless Loop is also enabled, in which case playback
of the current item repeats until manually interrupted).
TRANSPORT CONTROLS
A simple set of controls beneath the playlist pane provides all playback-related functions:

Previous button – go to previous playlist entry

Stop (clicking Stop when already stopped goes to the first frame)

Play

Next button – go to next playlist entry

(Not shown) – Double-click an entry in the playlist pane to begin playback at the start of
that playlist entry

Loop – repeat playback continuously (respecting the Single switch state)
AUTOPLAY
When enabled, the Autoplay switch has several important effects. Firstly, it initiates playback
automatically when the associated Media Player is placed on Program Out by a (Switcher) Take
or Transition operation either directly (as a Switcher row selection) or indirectly – as an input for
a Virtual Input or Overlay.
Secondly, the reverse Switcher transition occurs automatically as the end of play approaches
(whether the Out Point of the current item for Single play, or the end of the playlist). In similar
fashion, for a media player with Autoplay enabled, performing an Overlay Effect automatically
begins playback.
