Types of list actions<\/strong><\/h5>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Play Next <\/strong><\/h6>\n
This list action is automatically assigned to content being added to a playlist & serves as an instruction for the content to play in sequence from top to bottom.<\/span><\/h6>\n
<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Loop <\/strong><\/h6>\n
This list action is usually added to the last item in a playlist & is an instruction for the system to loop back to the first item in the playlist.<\/h6>\n
<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Jump To<\/strong><\/h6>\n
The Jump To and Marker list actions are used in conjunction. The Jump To list action is an instruction for the playlist to jump to the marker when reaching the content with the Jump To list action on it.<\/h6>\n
<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Marker<\/strong><\/h6>\n
The Marker list action will be put on the destination content when using the Jump To list action.<\/h6>\n
<\/strong><\/h6>\n
