Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, add a Debug block to the yellow Script Filter and open the debug window, then run the workflow. Then send an email to [email protected] with the debug log and a link to your Google Sheets file, and I'll be happy to take a look.

Scenes

The scene property of this workflow allows you to play a track at random from any given playlist, then either return to the previously playing playlist ("Continue Scene"), or bring up the playlist selector again to select something new ("Start New Scene"). This is useful if you'd like to only play one track.

If the scene flag is set to "enabled", when the playlist is highlighted you can select the behaviour for when your track ends: either hold Alt to "Continue Scene", or hold Cmd to "Start New Scene".

Note: The scene property does not work on playlists with local files.
