I am unable to grasp the complexities of scripting, and am looking for available script services you offer/recommend. Here is my scenario: Brightsign 410: Looping video plays until button 0 is pressed (video1). Then it chooses a video from a random playlist (video2 - video14). When that video completes, it automatically commences to choose another random video from a second playlist (video15 - video27). After that video, returns to the original looping state (video1), BUT Button 0 is no longer active. Button 1 is active. Looping video plays until button 1 is pressed (video1). Chooses a video from a third random playlist (video28 - video60). Return to main looping state (video1). Button 0 is again active, but button 1 is inactive. Any help or recommended script service providers would be appreciated.

  I haven't had time to debug this fully, but this is one way this could be done.
  
  debug=true
P = createobject("roMessagePort")
Vplayer = createobject("roVideoPlayer")
Button = createobject("roGpioControlPort")
Button.SetPort(p)
Vplayer.SetPort(p)

DIM vlist[60]
vlist[0]="video1.ts" 'attract video

  Thank you very much! I did not expect to be offered a solution! It is VERY appreciated.
  
  It appears that it loops video1 until button0 is pressed (correct), then it randomly selects a video (correct), then after it plays randomly selects from playlist 2 (correct), and (incorrect) then the screen goes blank with no way of proceeding.
  
  I guess it would need to return to vid1 loop after playlist 2 until button 1 is pressed to play random from list 3. Then afterward return to vid1 loop (basically resets to repeat).
  
  Thanks in advance for the help!

  I've tried figuring out what's going on with the sample script provided, but so far to no avail. Anyone out there with scripting experience that can take on the challenge? The script that Roku so generously created does steps 1-3 fine, but it does not return to the looping video and the buttons don’t do anything. I’m stuck on a blank screen and have to unplug the unit.
  
  To reiterate, here is the functionality I want:
  
  1- A Looping video plays until button 0 is pressed ( lets call it video1).
  
  2- When button 0 is pressed, it chooses a random video from a playlist (video2 - video14).
  
  3- When that random video completes, it automatically commences to choose another random video from a second playlist (video15 - video27).
  
  4- After that video completes, it returns to the original looping state (video1), BUT
  Button 0 is no longer active (to prevent retriggering).
  Button 1 is active.
  
  5- The looping video (video1) plays until button 1 is pressed.
  
  6- Then it chooses a random video from a third playlist (video28 - video60).
  
  7- When the video completes playing, return to main looping state (video1).
  
  Button 0 is again active, but button 1 is inactive (basically resets the initial state).
  
  Many thanks.
