HTML 5 Media end event

Is it possible to generate a media end event, or another event, to drive the presentation from the the HTML page to local content within the unit

In this case you would have the XD unit displaying a webpage running a variable length events feed but you don't want to use a timeout command as it could cut the feed short or leave it displaying the "no events feed" for too long.

When the feed cycle has fully completed you could trigger the player to move from the webpage to stored local presentation content with fixed behavior.

We have roughly tested using the provided mrss.js to pull out content from a dynamic playlist but the BSN is not quite were it needs to be for us.

    I am also interested in this.

    I have a few clients now that are asking to get Media RSS content in HTML5 format, because currently you can only have Media RSS in one zone.

    The problem is some of the content length varies, but there is no way to convey this to the XD players.

    It is becoming a frustrating problem.

    In a interactive zone (not tested in playlist zone), you can send UDP commands with javascript on the HTML page to localhost

    And what is the exact javascript code for sending UDP?

    I've tried:  $.post("localhost:8080/SendUDP",{key:"SendUDP", value:"play_video_1"})

    but it doesn't seem to work

    @mathieu Make sure you enable local server, and for html object set allow external data.

    did this work out? If it did, could you please post some more details as to how you managed to get it to function?

    Thanks!
