Playback not updating in FIPM when using script (FIXED)

[Sexan]

When using script to mute/unmute items playback in FIPM does not update,it playbacks the item which was first selected, others are ignored. It will only playback new unmuted items if playback cursor position is manually changed


Short script to reproduce bug

function main()
  local cur_item, _ = reaper.BR_ItemAtMouseCursor()
  local num_items = reaper.CountTrackMediaItems(reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0,0))
    for i = 0 , num_items-1 do
      local item = reaper.GetMediaItem(0, i)
        if item ~= cur_item then
          reaper.SetMediaItemInfo_Value( item, "B_MUTE", 1 )
        else
          reaper.SetMediaItemInfo_Value( item, "B_MUTE", 0 )
        end 
    end 
reaper.UpdateArrange()              
reaper.defer(main)
end
main()

Any update on this? is it a bug or user error?

I want to bump this since its breaking script functionality

Fixing, thanks!

As a temporary workaround, you can call this after changing the mute state:

reaper.SetMediaItemInfo_Value(item, "D_POSITION", reaper.GetMediaItemInfo_Value(item,"D_POSITION"));

Sorry, for my ignorance, but what is FIPM?

[cfillion]

Free Item Positioning Mode. It's a track setting that allows items to be resized and moved vertically.
