HTML5 questions

1. Z-POSITION
In the HTML5 User Guide it says: "HTML5 content will show at the highest Z-level, meaning that an HTML5 zone will cover all other zones thatcontain video,images, and text." But the HTML5 object in my video&images Zone goes away for a moment everytime the content (video) in my second video&images zone changes. I'd like my HTML5 content to always float on top, no matter what happens, is that possible?

 

2. HTML5 LATENCY
In the HTML5 User Guide it also says: "When the BrightSign player loads HTML content from a URL, there may be a delay based on network latency. You can add a preload image to sidestep this issue." So I created a preload image as describeded, but that does not change anything. Anything else I need can do?

 

3. HTML5 & AUDIO

Till now, I was using a still-image to view a weather forecast, I added a zone message event to play music on a audio only zone, while that image was shown. That worked well.

Now, I'd like to use a HTML5 website instead of a still image to view a weather forecast. Unfortunately, it seems that playing a music file on a audio-only zone does not work while a HTML5 website is shown on another zone. Is there a solution to this?

    Looking for information, I found the webinar here on brightsign.biz - unfortunately it didn't help me either. Does anyone got an idea?

    Hi Stefan,

    I'm currently testing a beta FW that addresses both issue 1 and 3. So in a very near future you will be able to do exactly what you're looking for :-)

    Could you please post a link to your HTML 5 content so I can test what you're seeing for issue 2?

    Thanks,

    Romeo

    Hi Romeo,

    Thanks a lot. Regarding issue 2, it's not a problem with a specific kind of HTML5 content, it makes no difference which hml5 site I am linking to. Maybe I am understanding this wrong:

    "When the BrightSign player loads HTML content from a URL, there may be a delay based on network latency. You can add a preload image to sidestep this issue."

    Does that mean I should link to an image before linkingt to the HTML5 content so that the HTML5 content can "preload" an is shown faster? I did that. But  it doesn't make a difference. After the image, the screen turns black, white and the HTML5 appears. I guess thats just the time the browser needs to start up. But I thought the workflow described in the quote above should help to minimize the delay?! Or do I mix things up here?

    Hi Stefan,

    I believe that this is referring to a preload image in the HTML content (not in BA).
