Playing and reviewing in context of the Cut with Screening Room

In an older post it was mentioned that the Playing and reviewing in context of the Cut workflow was supported in Screening Room.

But in the current version of screening room I can’t get the cut view icon on the left to show up anymore. Also looks like there used to be a workaround post but it doesn’t work anymore.

There is a cut view icon on the right side but that only sorts the current playlist in cut order and it doesn’t allow viewing shots before and after (when they are not in the playlist).

So I’m wondering if it’s possible in screening room (for rv) to

  • play shots before and after even when not in the current playlist?
  • select a cut from shotgrid and play it back

It is still possible through “Play In Browser” from the Media App but we’d like it in screening room to allow playback via RV.

Thanks!

Reading the PlugIns/Mu/shotgrid_review_app.mu file in the latest RV installation suggests this feature should still be available, though I also can’t get it to display.

// Default Screening Room Cuts support enabled state
global bool SGR_CUTS_ENABLED = true;

Through the Tools > PTR Python Console... I was able to do the following which hasn’t yielded anything fruitful yet but there might be something here to help point someone to the answer:

import pymu 
mu_symbol = pymu.MuSymbol("shotgrid_review_app.ReviewAppMinorMode.cutsFeatureEnabled")
mu_symbol(0)

@patrickwolf I found this article which specifies that the Sequence you load in RV from the Browser has to be linked to Cuts for this to be visible.

I’ve now got this displaying in my RV session. If I load Asset based media for example, this will then hide once more from the toolbar.
