Hi, i have a roku application
i need some help adding autoplay video function
once the video completes it need to select the next video and play automatically after showing
a message like “your next video will be resume in 5 seconds.”

For a general idea of how to do that, take a look at https://github.com/belltown/Roku-NewVideoPlayer/blob/master/source/UI.brs, specifically the uiDisplayVideoDetails function starting on line 300, and the uiPlayVideo function that starts on line 420. The code implements Play/Resume, Play from beginning, and Play all for a list of videos. If you can generally understand what the code is doing then you should have no trouble implementing your own solution.

You need to set up an on video state function for instance:

If (m.video.state = "playing")
 if m.video.duration = m.video.duration - 5 then
   m.yourCustomLabel.text = "Your video will resume in 5 seconds"
 end if
end if

If (m.video.state = "finished")
  m.video.control = "stop"
  m.videocontent = m.yourVideoList.content.getChild(1)
  m.video.content = m.videocontent
  m.yourCustomLabel.text = ""
  m.video.control = "play"
end if
