Hi There,
I made a List Input with 5 video each video are not the same lengh. i use a shortkey with z key for "Play Out" the list.
im looking to play only 1 video at time after the 1st is completed i return to my BlackMagic. but im looking to automatic
select the next video in the List Input, like this if i press the z key again is the second video will Play Out. same thing
here after is completed i return to BlackMagic, once i reach the last video in the List Input, it select the first video in
this list.
Maybe the "Play Out" is not the good way i dont know. im stuck here already for few days.
The reason of this. is we play advertising on dead time in video and i dont want to play the same video twice before we played all the sponsor.
Thanks for your help

Can use the playcommand to play a specific video from the list or a transition Have a oncompletion trigger in the lsit input to go back out whe video finishes playing If you use an API call (script) for the above playcommand one can specify the index of the list item (instead of the name) .In the script one can advance the index counter for your next one in the list for the next play call

There is what i did, i think im very close.
4 Videos files in a List Called "Advertising"
Shortcut on 0numpad key with command "Fade" / Input 3 (Advertising List) Video setted to Current
In setting of Input 3 (Advertising List) i setted a trigger :
OnCompletion Fade to Input 1 (Main Camera)
OnCompletion NextItem on Input 3 (Advertising List)
Than work close to the perfect setting but the problem is when it reached the last video in the List how can i return to the 1st one.
Because once i reached to last one every time i hit the Shortcut key it played the last video in the List.
thanks all for your help

dim xml as string = API.XML()
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(xml)
'set the name of your list
dim SI = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@shortTitle='Advertising']/@selectedIndex").Value)
'set the numbers of your list items and decide what to do
If SI = "4" Then
API.Function("SelectIndex", Input:="Advertising", Value:="1")
ElseIf SI < 4 Then
API.Function("NextItem", Input:="Advertising")
End if
In order to run it you can do 2 triggers in this input list called "Advertising" like you did 1st trigger OnCompletion Fade to Input 1 (Main Camera) 2nd trigger OnCompletion -->script start -->name your script for example adslist. Also in the 2nd trigger you can put a small delay for example 1500 means 1,5sec because when you do the 1st trigger fade out and then immediatelly the 2nd one it appear for a little time the beggining of the next video in the list and in order to avoid,we can use a small dealy

API.Function("Fade") 'fade/play the currently selected clip in the List
dim TheIndex as integer
dim TheoldIndex as integer
dim xml as string = API.XML()
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(API.XML())
TheoldIndex = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='" & TheList & "']/@selectedIndex").Value)
API.Function("SelectIndex",Input:=TheList ,Value:=TheoldIndex +1 ) 'or API.Function("NextItem", Input:=TheList )
x.loadxml(API.XML())
TheIndex = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='" & TheList & "']/@selectedIndex").Value)
if TheIndex= TheoldIndex
API.Function("SelectIndex",Input:=TheList ,Value:=1) 'reached end of list so jump to first
end if
