Hi guys,

Here's a newbie Question for BrightAuthor 4.7.2.18 on a XD232.

I'd like to put a group of about 10 videos in a media list and control previous/next and pause/resume through UDP from Bitfocus Companion. I am able to do this using all my videos one by one and ettaching these 4 events to each one, but if I could do it with a media list it should be much faster and easier to add a file. My problem is that within the media list I can chose all sorts of events for transition to previous/next EXCEPT UDP.

Is it possible to activate UDP in media lists somewhere I have not looked yet?
Is it possible to send a UDP command to my unit, which is tranlated into a GPIO or serial command, which then troggers the transition in the media list?
Or is there a better way to achieve wjhat I want than media lists?

Thanks for your help

Raimund

Agreed, we are limited to GPIO, Zone & Synchronize events.

The way round this is to have a second zone (I usually make this second control zone and audio zone) with an event handler for UDP events. From each of these UDP events I send a zone message which can then be used in the media playlist to change file.
