Hi all

I have just released a new private channel called Amateurlogic. You can access it by using the code “ALogic”.

The channel links to a vidcast that I help make. its about amateur radio and technology. We have over 32 videos.

Comments and feedback are welcome.

regards

Hi again

One bit of feedback that I have had is that each video comes up with two options - resume and start form beginning. If someone picks the first one the video starts and stops to cache shortly after.

Any solutions?

cheers Peter

Interesting…I’ll check it out.

I navigated around and sampled a few videos. Other than Resume being the first choice rather than Play, and the already mentioned problem, the channel seems to work fine. My only suggestion would be to add a description of the topics covered in each video.

Yeah, that’s a standard problem in the videoplayer example. I’ve been thinking about contacting one of the admins to see about making a sticky thread specific to working out all the kinks in the videoplayer example.

If you open the appDetailScreen.brs and look at the following lines of code:

screen.ClearButtons()
    screen.AddButton(1, "resume playing")    
    screen.AddButton(2, "play from beginning")    
    screen.SetContent(show)
    screen.Show()

All you have to do is cut the line “screen.AddButton(2, “play from beginning”)” and paste it above the line “screen.AddButton(1, “resume playing”)” and it will swap the order of the buttons.

Furthermore, if you want the button to simply say “Play” instead of “play from beginning” just edit the text.

I’m thinking of changing the “resume playing” button to “OMG! Don’t Press This” just for kicks…

Seriously, though… if you just swap the order of the buttons as shown above, you’ll be okay.

Thanks

I have reordered the buttons and all is well.
