PDF Autoscroll Based on Playback Time work in remote session with local lyrics?

AnthonyB

As per the title, I'm just wondering whether PDF Autoscrolling based on playback time specifically works in a remote session where the downstream iPad has a local lyric-only song in it's database, with the song duration entered, and a PDF attached?

As I start the song on the upstream, it correctly loads the local attached PDF, but I can't get any autoscrolling to kick in.

While I was researching this, I also wanted to call out that the Documentation on this topic (https://stagetraxx.com/user-guide/pdf/#automatic-scrolling-based-on-playback-time) appears outdated. It says:

Open Settings > PDF & Lyrics.

Enable Autoscroll PDF.

but there is no Autoscroll PDF under Settings in ST 3.8.24 (9006) (and yes, I do have the Autoscroll Lyrics option enabled)

AnthonyB yes there is…

Well that's just weird. I do not have that option on ST3 on either of my iPads (iPad Gen 5, iOS 16.7.10 or iPad Gen 10, iOS 18.2).
I guess the next question is, what could cause this option to not be present?

You need the current version 3.8.26 to see this new option. And then it will also work on network clients with local pdfs. But not based on the song duration defined in the client but the one sent by the host.

peter ergh. 🤦‍♂️ rookie mistake on my behalf. Sorry for that! I'm normally pretty diligent about manually forcing App Store (and same on Google Play store for Android devices) to check for updates as I hate the way app stores will just 'lag' on available app updates for many days.

I now have 3.8.26 AND, as expected, the Autoscroll PDF option.
