Scripting Help

I would like some help on figuring out how to get started with using BrightScript. I have read both the Brightscript Reference Guide and the Object Reference Manual and I have not been able to get anything to work.

My file is called autorun.brs just like it says to do in the user guide.

I have then also copied a sample of code to just play a video in a zone.

The following is what I am using:

debug = true v=CreateObject("roVideoMode") v.SetMode("1920x1080x60i") EnableZoneSupport(true) r=CreateObject("roRectangle", 60, 60, 1386, 800) v=CreateObject("roVideoPlayer") v.SetRectangle(r) v.SetLoopMode(1) v.SetViewMode(2) v.SetAudioOutput(2) v.PlayFile("Amazon_1080.mpg")

I am using scripting because eventually I will need to accomplish things playlists won't allow. I have just chosen to start small to since even at this basic stage I am having problems.

And yes, I do have a video that I have called Amazon_1080.mpg.

    If you haven't updated to 3.1, it won't play .mpg files.



    And, you can try it without enabling zones, if you aren't using zones. Finally, there needs to be a loop of some kind or the script will just exit. So, the last two lines puts the script in a loop.  I can also send you something that will help with testing on your computer. Please send me an email at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:support@brightsign.biz">support@brightsign.biz</a><!-- e -->.





    mode=CreateObject("roVideoMode")

    mode.SetMode("1920x1080x60i")



    v=CreateObject("roVideoPlayer")

    v.SetLoopMode(1)

    v.SetViewMode(2)

    v.SetAudioOutput(2)

    v.PlayFile("Amazon_1080.mpg")



    loop:

    goto loop

    The new code you posted didn't work, nothing is showing up on the screen. I just copied what you had posted over what I had, should I have added or kept anything else?



    Also, I forgot to mention, in case it matters, this is being displayed on an HD1010.



    And I have updated it to the most current version.

    Ok, I wasn't paying attention. The object you use to create the video mode setting, is different from the one you use for playing videos. SEe the changes I made. I add a roVideoPlayer object, and changed the name of the videomode object.

    I don't understand your response. Just using the code you provided didn't display the video. Should I use your code in conjunction with some of my old code?

    I hadn't noticed you edited your previous post. I've changed the brs file to be then one you sent me, but the video is still not showing up.



    I have tested this video on this unit and it plays just fine if it's through a playlist or autoplay. I have also tried using different monitors to test the script and it doesn't play on any of them.

    I got the video to show up, I had to use another video file, so I’ve moved on. I am now stuck trying to use the touch screen. I am able to use the touch screen.



    \I have noticed that the x and y coordinates are flipped. The origin point for the touch screen is on the lower right corner instead of the upper left, as it is for the video and images zones.
