Hi,
Here is an info I want to share.
I tried to switch between analog audio and hdmi embedded audio output to allow my customer to switch between the LCD built-in speakers or the general room audio output inside the ceiling.
I discovered that:
- With the actual beta BA and beta Fw, when trying to do this in the main layout (video + images) the player is freezing...
- I tried to add a new layer (audio only) and used a Handled Event (GPI0 = analog and GPI1 = hdmi) and the player was not freezing anymore but seems not reacting.
Then I discovered that in fact the player is recording the order but only switch the audio output when switching from a video media to another.
To BA support:
Is there a solution to make a live switch between audio outputs without having to wait for a switch between medias?
So now I do the following... Maybe you have a better solution:
- GPI 0 or GPI 1 are configuring the BS output and then, send an internal order to the video /images layout to swich from the current video to another...
At the moment, the only solution I found is:
I connect GPO 6 to GPI 3 / GPO7 to GPI 4
When GPI 0 or 1 are closing, the program in the audio layout change the audio output configuration and then close and open GPO 6 or 7 few seconds.
In the main layer (video / image) I detect the input on GPI 3 or 4 and then I switch the playback of the vids to another one...
Quite sure there is more easy to transmit orders from audio layer to video layer...?
Regards,
