Re: Pre/Post Roll Ads?

Sorry, the devs are all snoring gently in their beds, with visions of thousands of dollars dancing through their heads...

Tell you guys what, if you haven't gotten a response or resolved it somehow within 3-4 days, I'll personally throw something together just to test and figure it out (I haven't done anything video related yet, so it will be good for me as well). But, as it is now, I'm not planning to look at BrightScript for a few days. This last weekend was grueling.

P.S. I know 3-4 days isn't exactly what you would want to hear, but at least you have some sort of resolution coming. Hopefully something will develop before then and you won't need to wait.

Re: Pre/Post Roll Ads?

I modified the customVideoPlayer smaple app to demonstrate playing streams back to back. Note that currently, this can only be done with a buffering between the streams. Soon, HLS will support seamlist playback of playlists without buffering between the discontinuities.

Try this example:

Sub RunUserInterface()
o = Setup()
o.setup()
o.paint()
o.eventloop()
End Sub

Sub Setup() As Object
this = {
port: CreateObject("roMessagePort")
progress: 0 'buffering progress
position: 0 'playback position (in seconds)
paused: false 'is the video currently paused?
fonts: CreateObject("roFontRegistry") 'global font registry
canvas: CreateObject("roImageCanvas") 'user interface
player: CreateObject("roVideoPlayer")
setup: SetupFramedCanvas
paint: PaintFramedCanvas
eventloop: EventLoop
}

'Static help text:
this.help = "Press the right or left arrow buttons on the remote control "
this.help = this.help + "to seek forward or back through the video at "
this.help = this.help + "approximately one minute intervals. Press down "
this.help = this.help + "to toggle fullscreen."

'Register available fonts:
this.fonts.Register("pkg:/fonts/caps.otf")
this.textcolor = "#406040"

'Setup image canvas:
this.canvas.SetMessagePort(this.port)
this.canvas.SetLayer(0, { Color: "#000000" })
this.canvas.Show()

'Resolution-specific settings:
mode = CreateObject("roDeviceInfo").GetDisplayMode()
if mode = "720p"
this.layout = {
full: this.canvas.GetCanvasRect()
top: { x: 0, y: 0, w:1280, h: 130 }
left: { x: 249, y: 177, w: 391, h: 291 }
right: { x: 700, y: 177, w: 350, h: 291 }
bottom: { x: 249, y: 500, w: 780, h: 300 }
}
this.background = "pkg:/images/back-hd.jpg"
this.headerfont = this.fonts.get("lmroman10 caps", 50, 50, false)
else
this.layout = {

Re: Pre/Post Roll Ads?

Kevin,

Is m.position clip specific or does it take into account all clips being played?

Re: Pre/Post Roll Ads?

Thanks but is it possible to show an example in the Video player example??

the issue is getting it set up to work with the category list item, because we can not hard code it as your example

Since m.position is set to msg.GetIndex(), I'd say it's relative to the current clip. You'd need to keep track of it separately, if you wanted it to be relative to all clips.

Re: Pre/Post Roll Ads?

Yes. m.position is relative to the current clip.

Re: Pre/Post Roll Ads?

again how do we get it working with the video player example which uses a whole different coding scheme from the custom video example...

i think more people use that example more anyways with such options it has
