It could be a misunderstanding - yes, SkipToSegment is there, but Segment Markers can only be placed between individual playlist items. As you can't put a Segment Marker within a trailer or main feature, it is of little use to skip portions of trailers or main features. You can only skip over playlist elements that way - over macros, over full trailers, main features, etc. General markers can have any timecode position, but you can't skip from or to them. At least not in our 2.6.4... --- 14.2 Marker A marker is a label that is attached to a specific timecode of a CompositionPlaylist (CPL) inside the ShowPlaylist (SPL). It can be used by the user to add a note about when an event is expected to happen in the SPL. The use of these markers is generally for user information purposes only. The exception is the Exit_Intermission marker. For information on how to use this marker, go to section 14.3.3.1. --- - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Annli Com Expert Film Handler Posts: 140 From: ShibuPaul-India Registered: May 2014 posted 11-21-2015 11:00 PM                        Dear Sir THE MARKER NOT INFORMATION PURPOSE ONLY Log into the terminal as doremi.

The cue structure you mentioned is consistent with Doremi servers. Is that going to be implemented on Dolby servers (DSSx00) as well??  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

If the DSS like is to receive this feature, it would be in 4.9.x and I have not heard of it mentioned thus far (nor have I personally asked for it though I could see the benefit of it).  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-22-2015 05:12 PM                     The section above about the markers being for informational purposes only is quoted from the IMS2000 manual, draft version 0.94 dating from 08/18/2015. What Annli quoted is not contained in that manual. And it's still not clear to me how to actually use that XML edit to jump to/from arbitrary TCs of a playlist element. Not saying it is not possible, just wondering where that information actually comes from. Also, I don't find anything like that on the Doremi support pages. Sure would be nice to have that feature. Annli - do you have some more information? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Annli Com Expert Film Handler Posts: 140 From: ShibuPaul-India Registered: May 2014 posted 11-22-2015 09:48 PM                        Dear Sir This Release Mentioned Only Dolby IMS2000 software version 2.8.2 and later. And Doremi DCP 2000 software version 2.6.4 later. If You Want Release  |  IP: Logged
