Pro Video object and screensavers

[martinderren]

Hi Everyone,

I'm making a screensaver. It's fairly simple, it needs to do two things- it needs to play a couple of video files chosen at random from a folder, then display a piece of text which is updated from an external feed of some sort (tbc). Then it loops back to play two more videos etc.

The bit I'm trying to get working at the moment is the video - I've made a simple frame which loads a video file selected from the list of files in a folder, and that's working well. What I can't do is make it load the next video without crashing out of the screensaver.

I'm using the Pro Video object, and then using the trigger 'is video at it's end point' to trigger 'play new video'. At this point, the screensaver quits, every time.

I'm presuming I'm doing something basic wrong here - any ideas most welcome!

Best,
M

P.s. I'm working with MMF Developer on Windows 7, which is also the target OS.

Have you tried comparing the videos position through expressions as opposed to a condition?

Something like:
VidPosition=VidDuration: Play New Video?

If it works like this, then you can report that condition as buggy in Screensavers to be debugged.
