MpegPlayer

[Pierre Yves Doremi Technologies]

Hi ,
I' ve got 2 questions about programming the roku as a video player :

# Is it possible to get a status of the position of a video file played by MpegPlayer ?

# Can I skip a video in a list of queued files queued by CascadeMPEGPlayer::QueueFile( ), and continue to read the other files previously queued ?

Hi Pierre,

# Is it possible to get a status of the position of a video file played by MpegPlayer ?

Currently it is not possible to get the current position of a file being played with CascadeMPEGPlayer.
You only get notifications of when a file starts playing and stops playing.

# Can I skip a video in a list of queued files queued by CascadeMPEGPlayer::QueueFile( ), and continue to read the other files
previously queued ?

Also not currently, but you could do the same thing by always keeping exactly 2 clips queued as follows:
Queue clips 1 and 2 so that the transition from 1->2 will be seamless.
When you are notified that 2 has started playback, queue clip 3.
This will give you the type of dynamic property you seek,
but at a larger level of granularity.

-Don
