PROBLEMS EXECUTE ACTIONS

[Laura-2]

HELLO:
I HAVE CREATED AN ACTION THAT DOES THE FOLLOWING THING: IT EXECUTES WINDOWS PLAYER AND IT OPENS A FILE MPG. I HAVE ACTIVATED WAIT FOR RETURN, SO THAT ONE HOPES TO THAT IT FINISHES BEFORE HAPPENING TO THE OTHER ACTION. IN RUN MODE I HAVE PUT TO DIMINISH WINDOWS PLAYER. WHEN IT FINISHES VISUALIZING FIRST FILE MPG HAPPENS TO THE OTHER ACTION THAT ALSO EXECUTES WINDOWS PLAYER OPENING ANOTHER FILE MPG. THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE OBSERVED ARE THAT FIRST IT DOES NOT DIMINISH WINDOWS PLAYER AND WHEN HAPPENS FROM AN ACTION TO THE OTHER VISUALIZES A SCREEN IN TARGET. AS I CAN FIX THIS?

IT EXCUSES I EXPRESS VERY BADLY IN INGLISH.
THANKS.

Re: PROBLEMS EXECUTE ACTIONS

Hi,

I'm sorry but I really cannot understand your question.

I believe that you want Windows Media Player to minimize after it has played your movie?

Try Passing "/play /close" to Windows Media Player and see if that helps. If it does not please post and fully clarify your question.

Hello Mark:

I'm sorry my inglish is very terrible.
Not like explaining to me, I am going it to try again.
I am using the translator of the Web of Altavista, but it seems that he does not work well, jajaja.
I explain to you:
Execute Program
%SrcDrv%\mplayer2.exe
/fullscreen /play /close \Videos\Logo.mpg
Wait for return - activated
run mode minimized (but is not miminized = wait for return - activated?)

Execute Program
%SrcDrv%\mplayer2.exe
/fullscreen /play /close \Videos\Nautica.mpg
Wait for return - activated
run mode minimized

Problems = is not mimimized windows player
= after the Logo.mpg video it appears a complete screen of white color. Why?

Please you can help me. Thanks Mark.

Re: PROBLEMS EXECUTE ACTIONS

Hi,

Media Player is not minimized because you are passing it the "/fullscreen" command line parameter. That command line parameter causes Media Player to play at full screen. If you remove that command line parameter Media Player should be minimized.

As for your second problem: "after the Logo.mpg video it appears a complete screen of white color. Why?" I'm not sure; do you mean that the background is visible for a moment, or that your menu is visible for a moment?

Re: PROBLEMS EXECUTE ACTIONS

I also just wanted to note that you had the following in your previous post:
"/fullscreen /play /close \Videos\Logo.mpg"

In this path you need to include the full path to your MPG file if you haven't already. This may have been a typo though.

Re: PROBLEMS EXECUTE ACTIONS

Hello:
If the action I form it this way:

Execute Program %SrcDrv%\mplayer2.exe / fullscreen / play / close \Videos\Logo.mpg Wait for return - deactivated
run mode minimized.
If that diminishes the program Windows Player, but when active wait for return does not diminish the program Windows Player.

Another problem, if I form two actions to visualize two files mpg activating wait for return, between mpg and mpg appears a white screen in single target by a second. Why?

Thanks.

Re: PROBLEMS EXECUTE ACTIONS

Hi,

Try removing "/fullscreen" from your actions, try this instead:

Execute Program %SrcDrv%\mplayer2.exe / play / close \Videos\Logo.mpg Wait for return - activated
run mode minimized.

Now do you want the video to be minimized or maximized? I have been trying to instruct you so that the video remains minimized, although I’m not sure why you would want a video to play minimized.

As for the white screen do you mean that the background is visible for a moment, or that your menu is visible for a moment?

Re: PROBLEMS EXECUTE ACTIONS

Hello:
Desire that the video mpg sees complete screen and that the program Windows to player does not appear.
As for the white screen do you mean that the background is visible for a moment = yes
As I can solve these 2 questions?
Thanks.

Re: PROBLEMS EXECUTE ACTIONS

Hi,

Alright, in your first EXECUTE PROGRAM action set the run mode to: MAXIMIZED.

So your command will look like this:

File Name: %SrcDrv%\mplayer2.exe
Arguments: /fullscreen /play /close %SrcDrv%\Videos\Nautica.mpg
Run Mode: Maximized

As for the second problem where the background is visible for a second, there really isn't anything that you can do to stop this.
