This question is required more detail. I think you try, when video state change to buffering then you try to paused video. correct?.
Actually, I want to display the video frame (of the point when video player started buffering) with a loader on it while video player is buffering, instead of showing a black screen in the background of a loader.
Is there any way to do so?
No such method has been provided by Roku. But, you can make this possible in your way.
Example :
I take a small example in a video player. Please, put the below code in an XML file.
<Video id="video_node_ID" height="720" width="1280"
translation="[0,0]" visible="false" />
<LayoutGroup translation="[640,360]"
horizAlignment="center" vertAlignment="center">
<BusySpinner id="spin" clockwise="true" spinInterval="2" />
</LayoutGroup>And Also, Put below code in your .brs file
sub init()
m.video = m.top.findNode("video_node_ID")
m.video.observeField("state", "stateChanged")
m.spin = m.top.findNode("spin")
m.spin.visible = false
m.spin.uri = "pkg:/images/loader.png"
end sub
function stateChanged()
?"m.video.state : " m.video.state
if m.video.state = "playing"
?"playback handling!"
m.video.visible = true
m.spin.control = "stop"
m.spin.visible = false
?"playback handling Closed!"
handled = true
else if m.video.state = "buffering"
?"buffering handling!"
m.video.visible = false
m.spin.control = "start"
m.spin.visible = true
?"buffering handling Closed!"
handled = true
end if
return handled
end functionUsing these codes you able to show loader instead of the black screen. I hope this is helpful to you.
