[slinkelist] RE: Delay command in automation interface

[John Owen]

I'm having the same problem, and adding the delay instruction is
not causing a delay in in the second changer playing, no matter 
how long I set the delay for.  It appears that the play command
is going out before the 'using_player' event is fired.

Should I be keying this on a different event, or am I missing
something.

My map file looks (in part) like this

cdjr:using_player[cd1] 
        {
        rcvr:inputcd1
        rcvr:ir[-1500000]
        }
cdjr:using_player[cd2] 
        {
        rcvr:inputcd2
        rcvr:ir[-1500000]
        }
