Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with interfacing Lyric from ControlAir using Chyron Device Manager and II commands. The device is MicroX with Lyric v5.23 Build 765.

The wanted effect would be to trigger the cueing and playout of still and animated messages with "Pause for Keystroke" points. The Command and Effect lines in the .dmp file are as follows:

[Effects]
play2=commands::2:0:noautocue:noautostop

[Commands]
play2=v\$MID\5\3\1\1\$PADD\0\\:y\$MID\<213><243>1\\[PAUSE]v\$MID\5\15\\:y\$MID\<205>\\

The pause trigger works fine, with the other press of the Enter key, the animations is released form pause point and plays back fine, and in the ControlAir the next line in the rundown is selected.

However, the ControlAir states the satus of the message as Playing for the whole time, even when the playback is finished. The next message can be cued without a problem, but it seems as Lyric doesn't send any notification to ControlAir that the playback of the message is finished. Is there any way to resolve this? We have tried everything, but were unsuccessful.

Thank you.
