oneshot and trigger start does not stop audio from repeating
Closed this issue · 5 comments
profile validates... presentation runs. audio starts at beginning. The track is set to expire at 40 seconds. It does ... but then it restarts from the beginning. I need to be able to stop it for a video to be presented.....
I think you have discovered a design deficiency. Mediashows are either playing something or waiting for a trigger, they never end. Of course if the trigger is Start then oneshots repeat. I need to introduce mediashows that end as part of the 'command player' functionality that allows one show to kick off another.
Could you tell me what you are trying to achieve with this application. It will help me with the design for this area and I might be able to advise on a workaround.
I am trying to create a media show presentation which starts with some slides and messages with nice backgrounds. During that time I want music playing. Then I introduce a video. At that time I want the music to stop, so that the video sound takes over. When the video is finished, I would like the music to resume, with more messages and slides until the end of the presentation. At the start, it would begin all over....with the music and the show starting at the beginning.
Ultimately, I would like to include a live show within the mediashow. In that case, I would have the music audio stop, show the live video material, then resume the regular show and music...
To be able to do anything, I really need to be able to start, stop and resume, and rewind for start the parallel audio ....
Meanwhile, I have a working presentation which has been running for a week in the hospital, and I hope next week will bring some decisive moments for the pi and its future in the hospital...

Another possible way to approach the problem:
Allow a concurrent audo show for each discreet mediashow...
Then I could have one mediashow with a music concurrent, then a second mediashow with only a video and no concurrent music show, and finally a third media show with a concurrent music show....
If you can't provide this kind of functionality, that is okay... I think the product is immensely useful. I would just like it to be perfect....

Think of it like the movies. The music plays, then stops when there is dialog, the resumes during the silent and action periods....
Or TV .... The TV is NEVER silent ... perhaps that is unfortunate ... but it is what people are used to... Having that kind of flexibility in creating mediashows would be absolutely awesome...
