Hi all.
I'm trying to trigger a list of video files uploaded from my computer locally to BA:Connected. The key names represent file titles.
The issue I'm having is that when I use a udp event to trigger the on demand state that is configured to use a variable as key it's not using the variable as key, it's still checking against the UDP input resulting in always playing the default media in the list.
I have no problem setting the variable that I want to use as key via UDP.
Any ideas to what's going wrong?

Bright Scripters Having multiple UDP Events processing the same event might the cause for the issue.
Try it with one UDP Event first.
Also, if a User Variable is used as key, there is no need to transition into the On Demand state with a UDP Event.
You can capture the wildcard into media_key in a different zone, and send a zone message.
That zone message can be generic such as "play" which would then be used to transition into the On Demand.
I hope that helped.

Josef Hi, using one udp event didn't change anything for me. But taking the other approach of triggering the on demand list via zone messages worked great. Smart solution. I also like the approach of controlling the media from another zone since you can have all the udp commands on one state and send zone messages from there. I didn't think it was gonna work since the docs say "The On Demand state can only be transitioned to using input from BP900/BP200, UDP, Serial, Keyboard, or USB devices" but apparently zone messages works great.
