Now we have upgraded from an older screenly/anthias to the recent anthias version and have noticed that if we remove an asset from the playlist and it is currently playing - it gets skipped and removed. In the old version the asset continued played, and was just not played again.

I guess this is deliberate and it works fine, but the old way suited our procedures - so I was wondering if it would be possible to get the old “way” back - e.g. by enabling/disabling a setting ?

But otherwise the new version looks and feels nice 🙂

Sure. But I’m more curious about the actual workflow. Can you tell me more about that?
