I am trying to use two XD230 players to play movie files, alternating and on a loop (one screen will play a movie while the other is black and vice versa). Thank you.

Bright Scripters Ingredients:
2 Players
1 Network switch
2 Network cables
Player 1 plays your video1 file in a zone in interactive mode
Upon video end, Media End event transition from video1 to a Live Text state, without any text, which would generate black video.
The Media End event sends a UDP message over the network to player 2. Lets call the message "play2".
Player 1 is now on the Live Text state, waiting for a UDP command "play1" to be received
The presentations on Player 1 and Player 2 are almost identical.
Player 1's initial state is video1, while Player 2's initial state is the Live Text.
Player 1 sends out UDP command "play2", while Player 2 sends out UDP command "play1".
Player 1 listens to UDP command "play1" when on the Live Text state, while Player 2 listens for UDP message "play2"
If I got it right, that should create the flip-flop action that you are looking for.
Let us know how it went.

Daubar, Andrew So I got the movies files playing and the blank text field worked great for the black filler screen, but they just don't loop. Here's what I'm doing:

Bright Scripters Please use Media End event, not timers.
Try this for player 1
Player 2
Notice the difference in Initial States
This is not everything, but rather hints to steer you in the right direction
