Show Control System: How do I create a playlist to play from a button?

Potential Symptoms

"Create Playlist" Command
Looping playlist in Display Studio
Show Control's Display Studio script buttons

Display Studio playlists are used when you want to have multiple files play in succession with a single button. Create Playlist scripts will automatically loop the files back to the top of the list and start over. This feature is beneficial for creating Ad rotations, player introductions, crowd messages, etc.

** Daktronics recommends adding up to, but not exceeding 75 files in a single playlist. More files can be added, but functionality could be impacted. **

Create a scripting button with a Create Playlist script to play a specified set of media files on one or more DMP-8000 zones or DMP-7000 signs in a specified manner. When this button is executed, the signs display queue(s) will be cleared, the playlist's media files will be added to the queue(s), and the first file will start to play.
