You are right! In the "autoplayer-window" for the timeout is written minutes but
it means seconds and it is written hours but it means minutes. I wanted to have
a 2 minutes-timeout, but MCS understood a 2 seconds timout. This was the reason
why I thought that the autoplayer is not working with the "master-option". To
find out this "feature" did cost me some time:-).

Best greetings and a happy new year,
