Hello everyone,

Is there a way to be able to playback a video in a quad for example and be able to stop and play it on the fly while on air?

Hi Marc,

You can create a script action in the Kayboard/GPI map that can control the playback of a material. You can assign a keyboard or GPI action to trigger this event.

An example of the script:

dim ch as xpOutputFramebuffer

dim scene as xpScene

dim obj as xpBaseObject

dim mat as xpMaterial

Engine.GetOutputFramebuffer (0, ch)

ch.GetSceneOnLayer(0, scene)

scene.getObjectByName("Quad1", obj)

obj.GetMaterial(0, mat)

mat.play

This script will start playing the Material that is binded to the object called "Quad1" on the scene that is on Framebuffer 1, layer 0.

You can create multiple actions in the keyboard/GPI map that will act as playback controls. If you change "mat.play" to mat.pause, mat.rewind. mat.reset you can control the material playback.

This is a great video that will show ho to create the keyboard actions:

You can add Script Actions from the Global Functions list to the Keyboard Map. Then copy your video control scripts into them and bind to keyboard shortcuts.
