mjallo list,

I'm wondering what the easiest way to receive notification that an EventStreamPlayer has stopped playing ?

The reason is that I need to switch the button back off on my Interface to have it reflect it's state properly,
the problem is only with non infinite patterns...

Do I have to use the .changed / .update scheme ? and will that even work ?

Yes -

(

var eventStreamPlayer, updater;

eventStreamPlayer = Pbind(\degree, Pseries(0, 1, 8), \dur, 0.25).play;

updater = Updater(eventStreamPlayer, { |esp, msg|

[thisThread.clock.beats, msg].postln;

if(msg == \stopped) { updater.remove }

});

)

Is there an easier way ?

Not sure how it could get much easier than that :)  -- this mechanism is pretty clean as it is.

--- and now even worse,- is it possible if the pattern is playing inside a PbindPatternProxy or Pdef ?
--- Then it is always playing a resting pattern and will always return true to .isPlaying

I don't know about the jitlib proxies...
