Timer to stop live feed

Hello,
I need some direction in how to stop play once started with the timer


       if msg.GetIndex() = 1
                    m.timer=createobject("roTimeSpan")
                    m.timer.mark()
                    while true
                        if m.timer.totalseconds < 20 then
                            PlayStart = 0
                        else
                            return showIndex
                        end if
                    end while


I thought this would work ... but it isn't ..... any direction in this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

    You should add the timer handling code to the event loop which handles the video. Change the wait to a timed wait, if it isn't already, and periodically check the elapsed time on the timer.
