I have two Live Text RSS Feed events set up. Since the length of those can vary, how can I set the transition to the next feed to go after the first one has finished?
ie: If the first feed has 3 items each displayed for 10 and I set a timeout to 30 second that works for today but tomorrow there might be 4 items so the last one will not show before going to the next Live Text.
I hope I'm making myself clear.
Thank you
You could mash up the feeds, into a single feed...
Thank for getting back to me.
Sure, I could get them into one feed but the total time is still a variable. In a different scenario, I want to run the feed to it's conclusion and then run a few images and back to the feed. The number of entries in the feed can change at anytime so today it might be 3 and tomorrow 7 and the next day 10. If I run them each for 10 seconds, then the time to conclusion will differ. I'd hate to set the total time to 100 seconds and have 3 items rotate through 3-4 times in a row.
Is there no way to use variable or other conditions to see that the feed has x number of item and only show each one once and then go to the next event?
BTW - since I'm using RSS Feed I can add multiple feed to the RSS URL List so putting several into one Live Text is no problem.
By saying feed, do you mean a text only feed, or is that a media feed.
I'm asking, because in the case of media feed (MRSS), an Media End Event, could be used to detect the end of the feed.
For text only feed, it seems like you'd need a custom parser, to count the number of items, and use that number to control the transition time to the new feed or other media.
Test only feed.
