Good day All, I would like to be able to do the following. 1. Have a presentation of videos, images that played in order. 2. At the end of the playlist, I would like to have a full page RSS feed play for a period of time (5mins). 3. After the RSS feed runs for 5min, I would like to goto the beginning of the original playlist. I have tried to do this with autoschedule (see example below), however this method works but it will switch with time not at the end of a playlist - so not very ideal. Is there a GOTO function. eg. movie.mpg movie1.mpg movie2.mpg goto group2.bsp Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks Jon Autoschedule Example */*/*-*-*:00 group1.bsp */*/*-*-*:05 group2.bsp */*/*-*-*:10 group1.bsp */*/*-*-*:15 group2.bsp */*/*-*-*:20 group1.bsp */*/*-*-*:25 group2.bsp */*/*-*-*:30 group1.bsp */*/*-*-*:35 group2.bsp */*/*-*-*:40 group1.bsp */*/*-*-*:45 group2.bsp */*/*-*-*:50 group1.bsp */*/*-*-*:55 group2.bsp

  Yes, you're correct, the autoschedule works with time only. The only way I can think you can do it with a playlist, and not the schedule, is if you wrote a custom script to perform these functions.

  Lyndon,
  
  Thanks for your reply.  Is there any resources available to help write a custom script?  
  
  Thanks

  +1 for this feature.
  
  I think the functionality to change number of zones, placement, type etc during a slideshow should definitely be a feature. I would like to use it in almost every project I do.
  
  If it's not going to be available any time soon, it would be great with a sample custom script. I do have some programming experience but wouldn't know where to start to do this.

  I can directly you to our BrightScript Reference document, and object reference which cover the scripting language in great details. I can also send you a simple custom script that plays in multiple zones and changes to a single zone using gpio input.

  It would be helpful to have this direction + the sample script.  It is possible to show me how to change gpio input to a time based change?  
  Please email me the documents.
