Hi All, I would like to play two separate files, one audio and one video with one contact closure on one HD 410. I am using the BrightAuthor software. Or, the video file playing all the time and introduce the audio while maintaining the video. Any ideas?

  You can't do this with brightauthor, but need to do it with a script. This example listens for button 1, and plays a video and audio when the button is pressed. When the video ends, it waits again.
  
  
v = createobject("roVideoPlayer")
a = createobject("roAudioPlayer")
p = createobject("roMessagePort")
gpio = createobject("roGpioControlPort")

gpio.SetPort(p)
v.SetPort(p)
gpio.EnableInput(1)

v.SetAudioOutput(2) 'hdmi
a.SetAudioOutput(0) 'analog

wait_for_input:
msg=wait(0,p)

if type(msg) = "roGpioButton" then

REM Plays both files if gpio 1 is pressed
if msg.GetInt() = 1 then
v.PlayFile("video1.mpg")
a.PlayFile("audio1.mp3")

endif


else if type(msg) = "roVideoEvent" then

if msg.GetInt() = 8 then  'video playback has ended
goto wait_for_input

endif

endif
goto wait_for_input

  looks good, but the idea is to introduce the audio while the video is playing.

  Is the video longer than the audio? Is it possible the audio will stop and the video will still be playing, so both then need to be restarted? If the video ends, and the audio is still playing, should we not restart the video?
  
  
   v = createobject("roVideoPlayer")
   a = createobject("roAudioPlayer")
   p = createobject("roMessagePort")
   gpio = createobject("roGpioControlPort")

   gpio.SetPort(p)
   v.SetPort(p)
   a.SetPort(p)
   gpio.EnableInput(1)

   v.SetAudioOutput(2) 'hdmi
   a.SetAudioOutput(0) 'analog
  audio_off = true

   Start:
   v.PlayFile("video1.mpg")

   wait_for_input:
   msg=wait(0,p)

   if type(msg) = "roGpioButton" then

   REM Plays both files if gpio 1 is pressed
   if msg.GetInt() = 1 then
   a.PlayFile("audio1.mp3")
   audio_off = false

   endif


   else if type(msg) = "roVideoEvent" and audio_off then

   if msg.GetInt() = 8 then  'video playback has ended
   goto Start

   endif

   else if type(msg) = "roAudioEvent" then

   if msg.GetInt() = 8 then audio_off=true
   endif
   goto wait_for_input

  the video is an attract video, it plays all the time until a button is pushed to play the main video.  The audio is introduced during the attract as ambient sound and is stopped when the same button for the main video is pushed.

  Ok, so If I push the button to star the audio, what should happen if the audio ends, or the video ends before the button is pushed to start the second video.

  the attract video is always on,  the audio times out and wait for another signal to start

  Here you go. This accepts motion on gpio 1, and a button on gpio2.
  
  

       v = createobject("roVideoPlayer")
       a = createobject("roAudioPlayer")
       p = createobject("roMessagePort")
       gpio = createobject("roGpioControlPort")

       gpio.SetPort(p)
       v.SetPort(p)
       a.SetPort(p)
       gpio.EnableInput(1)
       gpio.EnableInput(2)

       v.SetAudioOutput(2) 'hdmi
       a.SetAudioOutput(0) 'analog
a.SetLoopMode(0) 'play audio once
mainvideo_notplaying=true

       Start:
       v.PlayFile("attract.mpg")


       wait_for_input:
       msg=wait(0,p)

       if type(msg) = "roGpioButton" then

REM Plays both files if gpio 1 is pressed

if msg.GetInt() = 1 and mainvideo_notplaying then
a.PlayFile("audio1.mp3")
else if msg.GetInt() = 2 then
a.Stop()
v.PlayFile("mainvideo.mpg")
mainvideo_notplaying=false
endif


       else if type(msg) = "roVideoEvent" then
if msg.GetInt() = 8 then  'video playback has ended
a.Stop()
mainvideo_notplaying=true
goto Start
endif



       endif
       goto wait_for_input

  Thanks, this is my edited version of your file.  I am unable to make it work.  Do you recommend a TXT file or CVS file.  
  
  
  
          v = createobject("roVideoPlayer")
          a = createobject("roAudioPlayer")
          p = createobject("roMessagePort")
          gpio = createobject("roGpioControlPort")
  
          gpio.SetPort(p)
          v.SetPort(p)
          a.SetPort(p)
          gpio.EnableInput(0)
          gpio.EnableInput(1)
  
          v.SetAudioOutput(2) 'hdmi
          a.SetAudioOutput(0) 'analog
        a.SetLoopMode(0)   'play audio once
        left_notplaying=true
  
          Start:
          v.PlayFile("loopleft.ts")
  
  
          wait_for_input:
          msg=wait(0,p)
  
          if type(msg) = "roGpioButton" then
  
           REM Plays both files if gpio 1 is pressed
  
           if msg.GetInt() = 1 and left_notplaying then
              a.PlayFile("audio1.mp3")
           else if msg.GetInt() = 2 then
              a.Stop()
              v.PlayFile("left.mpg")
              left_notplaying=false
           endif
  
  
          else if type(msg) = "roVideoEvent" then
           if msg.GetInt() = 8 then  'video playback has ended
              a.Stop()
              left_notplaying=true
              goto Start
           endif
           
  
  
          endif
          goto wait_for_input

  You are using gpios 1 and 2, but the two gpios we enabled fo rinput was 0 and 1. So, make this change:
  
         gpio.EnableInput(1)
       gpio.EnableInput(2)

  Hi, I copied your file exactly, saved as txt and changed my file names to match the ones in the txt file.  Still nothing.  After a while the unit start playing the files one after another.
  
  thx

  You should be saving the file as autorun.brs. That's that the script file has to be called.

  I downloaded a .brs file from this forum and did the same.
  Hi, I copied your file exactly, replaced the content of a autorun.brs file and changed my file names to match the ones in your file. Still nothing. The unit defaults to BrightSign logo and version number screen. <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif" alt=":evil:" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: -->

  Can you send me a screenshot of contents of your flash card? And, send me the autorun that you have on the flash card.
