Add the ability to place Layouts in a Playlist
This would really be the icing on the cake, as far as flexibility is concerned.
For example, if I have a clock widget it is a set colour for the entire show, so if the background changes to a similar colour (and the widget's background is transparent), it becomes invisible.
Being able to add shows to a playlist would cure this, and enable other things that multiple layouts would bring.
Our most requested feature is now here! You can now add Layouts in a Playlist!! Hurrayyy!!
It was quite challenging, but we managed to deliver what all of you have requested! For adding a Layout in a Playlists, you should use 2GB, 4GB or 8GB Players. Basic 1GB Players might work, but the experience might not be as smooth as with units with more RAM.

Adding layouts to playlists - this is the way to go! Then I can build diffrent Layouts, designed for the information I want to show - and let the playlist run this. To be honest - this feature is indispensable! It will make the player "Top notch". When can we expect this? We need it! 2020 Q4 is past, so ir Q2 2021...

This is a pageturner! It might not be easy - but it´s the only way to go! It will make the player extremly more versatile! Do you need any more adjective? It will transform the player from a static display to a real time information screen. PLEASE!!!

I realize this can be done by rotating schedules, but having a playlist of layouts seems easier to rotate through different widgets. I'm sure that is easier said than done.

PING Yodeck Team: What's the status of this update? Are we still forecasting Q4 this year or has this rolled into 2021?
Adding my voice to everyone else here... the new layout functionality means we MUST be able to add layouts to playlists. Can we get an update?

Is this released?

Just echoing everyone else here. With the custom functionality you've added to Layouts you really MUST make it possible to add a layout to playlist. Now that the system has template functionality built in to layouts, you need to be able to create a layout using a template then add that template to a loop. No one is going to schedule ONE layout to run for five minutes if it's a COVID-19 template. You want that layout to be part of the loop!

This is exactly what I'm looking for as well. This would be a very big improvement and allow much more flexibility

Layouts to playlist! - Can you please fix so we can place different layouts to the playlist!? One layout can contain for an example, website, weather widget and a movie. This I want to show for say 20 sec and then change over to a completely different layout that could have a fullscreen video or what ever we desire to show. This would make things so much easier for all users to create more dynamic playlists with several layouts.

It would be great if layouts could be included in playlists.
I have a situation where I would like to use one of the COVID layouts but at the moment, would have to schedule it to run.
Would be much better if a playlist could include my normal layout plus the COVID layout so that they run one after the other in an endless loop.

I think this is a must. The layout functionality is great and you can achieve some great looking results with it but without those then being available in a playlist is a waste. As Reid stated this would be a much more flexible approach.

I'd like to be able to insert layouts inside of my playlists just like I can put other playlists into each other.
Without the ability to repeat my media/layouts/playlists every few minutes rather than only per day in a schedule, it is very time consuming to change all 150 playlist instances to a layout. I will do this 30 times because I have 30 schedules. If I can simply drag a layout into my playlist that already repeats 150 times in each of my 30 schedules, all of the work is done for me.
Though you are working on adding slides to layouts, that does not change the flexibility relating to playlists. Based on my last suggestion that became pretty popular regarding votes, I am surprised you have not made this change yet.

I have just entered the yodock world - and I must admit that I'm surprised, that it's not possible to add layouts to playlists? That way I have to use the same layout throughout my "show". Making slides with custom layouts should be a core feature.. Unless I want to schedule different layouts minutely throughout the day, which I definitely do not want to do.

Has there been any progress on this to add Layouts (previously Shows) to Playlists? Or the option to schedule multiple layouts to push to a monitor?
ie. layout 1, then layout 2, then back to layout 1 all day?
