Welcome, Thomas. Discussions now take place on Zulip:
https://mixxx.zulipchat.com/
I suggest to ask your valid questions there again.
Since I don't consider myself a controller mapping pro, please don't take my
following remarks (see below) too serious.
Kind regards,
Uwe

Hi *,
while revamping an old Mixxx controller map some questions popped up where
I didn't find an online hint:
-How can I read the current playhead position (in samples) from a script?
(the current work-around is to set an unused hotcue, read it's position
and clear it again)
track_samples * playposition? This should give sufficiently precise results.
Please note that the number of samples depends on the number of channels.
-How can I toggle the loop totally independent of anything else?
For instance activating the loop *without* the playhead jumping to loop
start.
I understand that reloop_toggle with its asymmetric behavior seems
inappropriate for this purpose.
-How can I play a specific range "one-shot" style?
For instance play the loop range only once. I was looking for a method
that is similar to play_n_samples() from current position.
That sounds more like a use case for the samplers rather than looping?
Last question: looking at deprecated methods, for
SelectNextPlaylist / SelectPrevPlaylist and SelectNextTrack /
SelectPrevTrack:
The syntax is exactly the same [Playlist] binary [Library] MoveDown / MoveUp.
I understand that these methods are context-sensitive and there is a
method to move focus like with TAB.
However if user clicks in UI anything, how could i set the focus directly
to for instance the tracklist?
This functionality seems to be missing. Please search Launchpad for a
similar bug report, feature request, or feel free to create a new one.
Note: I had issues with loop_in / loop_out, roughly speaking the loop
handles were wandering along with the playhead sometimes.
This might be related to the press-and-hold mode of the loop_in/loop_out
controls. You need to handle the corresponding button release events or
manually set their values to 0/false when using the designated buttons in
combination with modifiers like Shift.
I had (and still have) issues with loop_out not being recognized reliably by
Mixxx even though the control's value is set correctly:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1771368
I'm testing this with the mixxx-release-2.1.1.tar.gz tarball.
Any help is appreciated,
greetings
Thomas
