Jens Weber I have tried as a first step when playing a video, at a certain timecode (video timecode event) via udp to send a signal out. but unfortunately, nothing comes. The settings for udp are I think correct, is something wrong in BrightAuthor Layout, I test with the preview window?

Brandon You need to publish the presentation to an actual player. The BrightAuthor preview is not a full or accurate representation of what the player's output and behavior will be.

Jens Weber Ok, I understand. I'm a bit surprised since the preview works fine with touch inputs. Where is the difference in principle?

Brandon The BrightAuthor preview is just a software approximation in Windows. It's not an emulator or virtual machine, so it's far from a perfect simulation.
Sending timecode via UDP permanently would require a custom autorun. You should also be careful about frequency as not to flood the network or bog down the player's processing.

Jens Weber Thanks for the feedback, can I make this adjustment " ... require a custom autorun … " myself in BrightAuthor or would you need to adjust this from your end?

It would require great understanding of the BrightAuthor autorun and the BrightScript language. I recommend engaging with a Content Partner to determine the best solution for your needs. In general a plugin would be version-agnostic and less work than modifying the BrightAuthor autorun as it is not documented or meant to be modified in this manner.

Bright Scripters How frequent are you looking to send out UDP?
What are you trying to accomplish by sending out UDP?

Jens Weber approx. every second
it is about sending the timecode to a separate app via wifi
