HD Player

Chapter 12: Remote Control Protocols

77

Rev. 6.8

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

Switchplaylist <Channel list> <string>

The player will perform a seamless switch to another playlist at the end of the currently playing clip.

The Player will respond with

OK or ERROR

Example:

Switchplaylist 1 “Playlistname”

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 required to simply repeat-play the file (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 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.
