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, Hannu Wegner
