After-finish destination

After-finish controls what LTCast does when the current song reaches its end. You can set a global default for the entire show and override it per song for specific transitions.

Global auto-advance

The global Auto-advance toggle in the setlist toolbar sets the default behavior for every song. When enabled, LTCast automatically loads and plays the next song when the current one ends. When disabled, playback stops at the end of each song and waits for a manual command.

An optional gap setting in the same toolbar adds a pause between songs (in seconds). During the gap, LTC continues broadcasting from where the previous song ended — it does not reset.

Per-song override

Open per-song settings (click the settings icon on a song card) to set an after-finish destination that applies only to that song, overriding the global setting. The current per-song destination is shown as a badge on the song card when a non-default override is active.

Available destinations

• Go to next song — loads the next song in the setlist (default behavior when auto-advance is on)
• Go to first song — restarts the setlist from the beginning; useful for looping a full show
• Go to last song — jumps to the final song in the setlist
• Stop — stops playback entirely; LTC output halts; useful at the end of an act
• Loop this song — keeps looping the same song indefinitely; use for ambient loops or hold cues
• Go to specific song — choose any song in the setlist by name; the target song is shown in the badge
• Follow global auto-advance — removes the per-song override and falls back to the global setting

Broken "Go to specific song" links

If you delete a song that was set as the target of a "Go to specific song" destination on another song, the badge on the source song turns orange with a warning. LTCast falls back to Stop when it reaches that song. Fix it by opening per-song settings and selecting a new target.

Last song behavior

When auto-advance reaches the last song and there is no per-song override, playback stops. To loop the entire show, set a "Go to first song" destination on the last song card.
