HD Player Chapter 12: Remote Control Protocols
76 Rev. 6.4
ListPlaylist <string1>
Returns a list of the clips contained in the playlist identified by <string1>.
The player responds with a list of PlaylistEntry commands as follow:
PlaylistEntry <string1> <mediapath> <clip>
Where <string1> identifies a playlist, <string3> identifies a media clip located in the media path
identified by <string2>.
The list is terminated with an empty PlaylistEntry message.
Example:
PlaylistEntry “Left Screen” “/e/exhibits” “Main screen intro.mpg”
PlaylistEntry “Left Screen” “/e/exhibits” “Main screen L.mpg”
PlaylistEntry
Playrange <Channel list> <start chapter> < end chapter>
Sets the start and end chapters for a Playlist on the specified channel. This command will also pre-load the start
chapter in preparation for the Playlist command.
The Playrange command requires an amount of time to complete, because of some initialization that must occur
when a new file is selected. The status commands can be used to poll the player to find out when the playrange
command completes. If the HD Player is used in a simple application where a single file is repeatedly played (in a
theater for example) it is more efficient to use the “loop” command (see Loopon below).
The Player will respond with:
OK or ERROR
Fastseek <Channel list> <start chapter> <end chapter>
Facilitates cueing of a file or files across multiple players in a synchronized system.
The Player will respond with:
OK “channel ‘X’ cued” or ERROR
Adjustrange <Channel list> <start chapter> < end chapter>
Adjusts the start and end chapters for the current playlist on the specified channel. This command does not cue
files. It is used to dynamically adjust the play order of files in a playlist. This interface is indented for backwards
compatibility.
The Player will respond with:
OK or ERROR
