I have added an audio playlist and I am trying to create a keyboard shortcut that when I press it it will fade the audio in on that input and when i press it again it will fade the audio out.
Is this possible please?
If not can it be done another way?

SetVolumeFade but will need to shortcuts unless you make a script to check the current state and act accordingly

Yes
There is a bit of explanation/instruction written in the add shortcut window when selecting this particular shortcut function

SetVolumeFade is a one of function where you either fade in or out hence yes you will need 2 separate shortcuts If one is brave one shortcut can call a script that check the currents volume level by reading the XML API which then decides based on the value read to either instruct to fade in or fade out.

It is an audio list I am trying to trigger.
Function: SetVolumeFade
Input: is the name of the audio playlist
Video: the first audio track in the playlist
Value: Set to 200 for the In shortcut and zero for the Out shortcut. I have vaired these figures and I still get the same error message.

just check on a playlist and on list input
if input is set to Active and value set to 0,200 and 100,200 respectfully and plaist or list is actually in output it works

I cant set the input to active as it will not know what source to trigger. It has to be set to the playlist.
It still does not work. Going to give up soon.

doesnt matter , the source is the one that is active ( the whole list )
if it's a regular list with audio files (not a playlist) you can select that list input and next to video choose current
and again can confirm it works
Maybe need to be a bit clearer o what you are using (you now have even thrown Trigger into the mix) and your shortcut settings , maybe a few screenshots might help also
You have been on this forum since 2016 ?

Only just come back to the forum not been on since 2016.
So I am trying to CUE and an audio playlist from a shortcut. The playlist will not be active like a video would as it's just music.
I want to be able to play in holding music at the touch of a button. Once button fades it in and then another button fades it out.
I need to be able to do this irrespective of what video is playing.

So now we have also a CUE involved ??
and what is it now , a list or a playlist (doesn't matter if its video or just audio )
Playlist is not an input perse and only responds when active to the shortcut (no other way to specify it ) i this case you actually need to mainpulate the input itself that you have added to the playlist
List is an input so you adjust the audio on that input regardless of which item in the list is actually playing or selected or if it is even active in the output, you can check the response of your shortcut on the audio slider of the list input (again not the specific item in that list )

Thanks. It is a list. Just audio files.
So I need a shortcut to turn on the audio first?
Then a shortcut to lift the sound and one to drop the sound.
I have tried turning the audio on with the mouse and then using the shortcuts but I still get error messages.
Maybe you could write instructions on ho to set it up from scratch please?

no need for a shortcut to turn sound on , of course if it's not playing you well never hear a sound also ;-) The name of the MP3 here itself doesnt matter (just happens to be the currently selected one ) , it's the List input that counts Be sure there is a comma between the 2 numbers , left is level between 0 and 100 , right is the time for the fade to take volfade1.JPG (45kb) downloaded 3 time(s). volfade2.JPG (44kb) downloaded 6 time(s).
