Hi all, I'm creating a presentation where I start the show with a GPIO input, then a video (3 minutes) starts playing. I would need to generate a GPIO ouput in this video state after 40 seconds and not just in the same moment as the video starts. Would that be possible? How could I do it? Regards, Nando

  Are you writing a script, or using brightauthor?
  And, you want a gpio output to occur 40 seconds into the video? Is the gpio output suppose to switch off and the end of the video?
  
  We could start a timer when you trigger the video to player, and when the timer expires, we set the gpio output. This can be done via scripting alone, or with a modification to the autorun used by brightauthor. Which gpio are you using for the output? Can I assume that at the start of any video, I should start this 40 second timer?

  I'm using BrightAuthor.
  Well, I want a gpio output to occur 'x' seconds into the video, in some times I would need 40 seconds, other times 100seconds... The gpio output should switch on and off right after the timer ends.
  The GPIO output could be different in each video, but if you explain it to me for one GPIO I think it would be enough.
  If it is better for you, assume that the same counter starts at the start of any video. I think with this I could adapt it to my needs.
  Thanks for your support.
  Nando.

  Hi all,
  
  After sending an email my colleague Nando, we still need to know how to configure the GPIO port at some specific times (for example: to activate port 1, 4 secs after the start of the video, to deactivate this port number 1, 0.5 secs later, to activate port 3, 8 secs later...)
  
  Thank you very much in advance.
  
  Miguel Chica.

  Sent you an email explaining that you can do this in brightauthor 2.2. You can add video time code events that execute different commands at set intervalues during playback, so at 5 seconds, or 500 milliseconds, etc.

  Hi again,
  
  Nando and me have not received any email (or it could've been deleted by mistake..). In any case, could you please tell us where we could get the version 2.2 from, since in the Brightsign website (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://brightsign.zendesk.com/entries/314637-brightsign-downloads">http://brightsign.zendesk.com/entries/3 ... -downloads</a><!-- m -->) the latest available version seems to be 2.0.0.42.
  
  Thank you very much in advance.
