Polling for Currently Launched Clip

[Observer-A]

Hey guys, sorry for the noob question but I am simply trying to grab the id and name of a launched clip.

I have seen a myriad ways to interact with clips but I couldn't find anything that covered this specific use case.

Any help/links would be greatly appreciated and I will release my device once I get through this part.

Thanks all!

I was working on this myself to try and parse out a video clip number that I was adding to my clip naming

What I found out is that first you need to get the currently playing clips number, and then ask for it's name.

Very cool!

What was the general path that you used to get the currently playing clip number?

Thanks man!

playing_slot_index on the track in question...


You need to look at the Live Object Model for this ind of thing....

Thanks again guys. I have been going over the LOM but I didn't see that method for some reason.

That was really the root of the problem for me and I finally gave up and asked.

I appreciate the help and I will report back when the device is finished up

Take care!

If you're going the "highlighted_clip_slot" way you don't even need to poll for a specific track first.

Nice!

I would like to keep it as dynamic as possible so that is probably the way I will end up going.

I appreciate everyone's help!

good call, the highlighted clip isn't necessarily the launched clip, unless you've got select on launch enabled.

You're right TYLR.
detail_clip can also be useful.
