Automatic close standalone player

Hello,

I want to use the standalone player as a part of a diashow. For to make this possible I need to play the sequence only one time and to close the standalone player after it. How can I do it?

Thanks

Hi Klaus!

You can create a timer to start the sequence and another timer to close the player. For example, if the duration of your sequence is 20 seconds, you can start the sequence in 0.5 seconds and close the player after 20.5 seconds:

Code:

(pano)
{
  type=MOV;
  file=panorama.mov;

  settimer=timeriniseq,1, 0.5, "IniSequence(0,1);LoopSequence(0,1);PlaySequence(0,sequence1);";
  settimer=timerclose,1, 20.5, "PlayerWindow("close");";
}

(sequence1)
{
   type=SEQUENCE;
   file=sequence1.txt;
}

regards!

Hola Riero,

muchas gracias for the answer It works good. I have 2 questions about this answer:

1. Is it possible to start the timer after the loading is finished?
2. Which possible parameters have the command "Player Window"? Is with this command possible to change the size of the window during the sequence?

Regards

Hi Klaus,

1. Yes, you can use the instruction PROPERTYCODE2 to start the timer when progress is 100%. You can define the timer with 0 as initial state, and use Show() to enable it:

Code:

(pano) 
{ 
  type=MOV; 
  file=panorama.mov; 

   propertycode2=code1,1, "progress",100, "Show("_this_","timeriniseq",1); Show("_this_","timerclose",1);"; 

  settimer=timeriniseq,0, 0.5, "IniSequence(0,1);LoopSequence(0,1);PlaySequence(0,sequence1);"; 
  settimer=timerclose,0, 20.5, "PlayerWindow("close");"; 
} 

(sequence1) 
{ 
   type=SEQUENCE; 
   file=sequence1.txt; 
}

2. With PlayerWindow() it's possible to start some functions of the window, this is useful to create interfaces http://www.devalvr.com/paginas/soporte/ ... AYERWINDOW . But, at this moment it's not possible to change the size of the window. Maybe I could add a new option to do it with two parameters for width and height...

regards!

Hola Fiero,

1. With propertycode2 I have the result which I want. Great!
2. I made some tests with different parameters of the PLAYERWINDOW command, but I had no success. How works for example MOVE?

Hi Klaus,

Some window fuctions stop its behavior with mouse button release, for this reason it's better to configute these functions with "click" event, for example "move" function. See the scripts of MLB and QTPlayer skins http://www.devalvr.com/paginas/interfaces/index.html

regards!
