Hi Neil,

We've been doing some investigations and found that if you use fairly short loops, or if you press play to "loop exit" within  the last 8 seconds of a loop, then sometimes Myriad will play the loop through one more time before finishing the loop (because it's already buffered those "loops" ahead). We're putting in a new SmoothStream buffer mode of "short" to try and help alleviate this in the next release (v4.0.24).

In the meantime You could try using either longer loop sections, or if possible, can you try changing to "Immediately jump to the loop end" instead and see if that works more reliably?

Just wondered if anyone has any suggestions as to what may be going on here?  Sometimes the loops work, sometimes it goes to the start of the loop rather than the end of the loop when GO is pressed.  It's causing a few problems

It definitely works sometimes but not others.

Anyone any other suggestions?

Unfortunately sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't and it doesn't seem to make any difference if the looped part has played through once!

cool - let me know.

I will experiment today - what you say makes sense but it wasn't noticible it was like that in 2.6 because we used the same jingles with the same loop length and never had a problem. 

certainly in a previous version if you loaded a looped cart into a cart player and hit play - you couldn't then hit play again until it had reached the loop point and gone back to the start of the loop again then you could press play to jump to the end.

so if the loop hasn't played twice, it won't relase to the outro?  The answer maybe a shorter looped segment then?

(it wasn't like that on 2.6!)

I know in previous versions it would need to have 'looped' at least once to enable you to hit play and it jump to the end.
