Is there a way to load about 100 videos files and have them all sync among about 30 players but also be able to shuffle.
right now I just have a master player with 100 video files and a sync command when they start playing a file. and 29 slaves that listen for this command. this gets very old updating both of these lists and making sure they match up perfectly. we would like to change these files around every week but this get very time consuming is there an easier way?
Erik,
With BrightSign I can safely say that, if there is a will then there is a way.
In such case I think your friend is the BrightAuthor object "Video Play File".
It uses a key to select a video, so you can randomize the key between 1 and 100, send that number to all players, and tell them all to play.
I hope that helped
I need them to be sync'd up perfectly would this do that?
You can use sync commands with the playfile widget.
So would i set up two playfile widgets. one as a master and one as a slave. also how do you get the UDP to work. I see examples for keyboard and USB devices but nothing about UDP. I was reading about it on page 59 in the BA 4.3 manual.
Yes, you would setup on on the master, and one on the slave.
Do you want your list of files to automatically advance from one file to another? How would you trigger a file to play? We can build an example and post it based on your needs.
yes advance to the next. right now we have about 500 music videos that we randomly select about 75 to play over 4 hours. I would love to be able to dump all 500 videos into a play list and have it randomly play videos on the master and to sync that list up with slave units. we have about 20 slave units. we do this now by using the sync commands. I have included the master player file that i use now so you can see how we are doing it now. it is very time consuming to do it this way.
Thanks
Hi Erik,
This is not exactly what you wanted but this might make your life a bit easier if you use BSN or BSNEE...
With the below presentations (Master and Slave) you can specify a Standard Video MRSS feed or Dynamic playlist on both the Master and slave presentation and have both of those playback files in a random order in sync.

Once you've publish this and tested it to ensure that it works as expected for you, you can change the URL with the feed with your own dynamic playlist URL (Video items ONLY). To do so go to File > Presentation Properties > Data Feeds > DynPlayVidSync > Change the URL currently specified there with your own dynamic playlist URL.

How do i get the URL of my local BSNEE server for the Dynamic playlist i just made?
OK got the URL from our dynamic list and pasted over what you had. still not working. I changed the UDP from the home state to a Timed event so after 6 seconds it should start but it doesn't. I have added the link Synchronized comand and the $$variableIndex$$ to the time out event. but it just stays on the home state
it must be something with my dynamic list as it will not play in a new project i just made without the random generator.
>UDP from the home state to a Timed event so after 6 seconds it should start but it doesn't.
The only thing you can change in the presentation I provided is the URL for the source data feed. If you change anything else you'll break it. Most of the logic is in the plugin itself and the plugin is customised to only trigger based on the transition events that I have added in the interactive presentation. If you change those it will not work.
I did not realise that you were a BSNEE user. I should have probably mentioned that you must use the BA 4.3.0.11 with the provided BA 4.3.0.11 custom autorun.

Romeo
