Ignore Button Input
This page / section pertains to BrightAuthor Classic, our legacy app. BrightSign Author is our latest app for managing content and players.
Development of BrightAuthor Classic has largely ceased and the app will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BrightSign Author.
When you create an interactive playlist In BrightAuthor Classic, you choose what inputs to accept. By default, all inputs are ignored until you add them to your interactive playlist. The following example creates a simple interactive playlist that plays an Attract.mpg video until button 0 is pressed, then it plays an Interact.mpg video.
Example
Add two videos to the Interactive playlist.
Draw a connection from Attract.mpg to Interact.mpg using GPIO button 0. Then, add a Media End event so that the Attract.mpg video plays when the Interact.mpg video is finished. This example only accepts outside input when the Attract.mpg video plays and the GPIO button zero is ignored when the Interact.mpg video is playing.
To accept button zero input during the Interact.mpg video, and have that input immediately take us back to Attract.mpg, draw a connection from Interact.mpg to Attract.mpg state using GPIO button 0. Pushing button 0 will now take you back to the attract video.
Delete the GPIO button zero event currently goes back to the Attract.mpg video.
Click on the Events tab under Media Library. Then drag the GPIO event onto the Interactive video.
Choose Transition to New State and select the Interact.mpg video from the dropdown list. Now, pushing button 0 restarts the Interact.mpg video instead of taking you back to the Attract.mpg video.
