Keyboard triggered event midway through a video

I have an initial basically screensaver loop video that plays. At any point during that loop, I have a keyboard event occur when the spacebar is clicked. This sends the screensaver loop into a video. In this video, I want to have two events. The first event will be when this video completes, it returns to the screensaver. I want there to also be a second event on this video that if anytime during the video the spacebar is pressed, it will return to the screensaver too. Is it possible to have both of these events? If so, is my setup below correct? Thanks!

FYI the video in the middle is just a transition, so ignore.

  Can't see why it wouldn't work, but surprises are part of the experience :)

  Best thing is to try it on a player, and share the results with us.

  So I tried it. Unless the brightsign box is just caching a previous version, it did not work. I also tried resetting the machine too, just in case.

  Try simplify things first, by having a single keyboard event, and see if that works.

  Also, test keyboard connectivity with the player. I like hitting the Caps Lock on the keyboard, to make sure that the LED indicator on the keyboard turns on and off...

  If the player's networked, you can log into it, and go to the log tab to see if any event is registered when you hit the space bar. When you publish your project, make sure to enable debug tot he system log so that output from the autorun script from brightauthor will be in the system log.
