Firmware Version 6.1

This object allows you to play a list of video files seamlessly (i.e. without any blank frames or interrupts between one video and the next). You can link roStreamQueue to an roVideoPlayer instance for seamless video playback or to an roMediaStreamer instance for seamless video streaming.

Object Creation: This object is created with no parameters.

CreateObject("roStreamQueue")

ifSteamQueue

QueueFile(filename As String) As Boolean

Adds the specified video file to the queue.

Loop(loop As Boolean) As Boolean

Specifies that playback/streaming should return to the beginning of the queue once it reaches the end. If Loop(false) and LoopLast(false) are both called, playback/streaming will stop once the end of the queue is reached. This is also the default behavior.

LoopLast(loop_last As Boolean) As Boolean

Specifies that playback/streaming should loop the last file in the queue once it reaches the end. This method has no effect if Loop(true) is called as well.

NextFile(a As Boolean) As Boolean

Start() As Boolean

ifMessagePort

SetPort(port As roMessagePort)

Posts messages of type roStreamQueueEvent to the attached message port. An event is raised whenever the end of the queue is reached.

ifIdentity

GetIdentity() As Integer

Returns a unique number that can be used to identify when events originate from this object.

ifUserData

SetUserData(user_data As Object)

Sets the user data that will be returned when events are raised.

GetUserData() As Object

Returns the user data that has previously been set via SetUserData(). It will return Invalid if no data has been set.

Playing and Streaming Queues

To use roStreamQueue as a streaming playlist, include it as the source component in an roMediaStreamer.SetPipeline() call. For video playback, use an roVideoPlayer instance as the destination component in the SetPipeline() call.

Example

q=createobject("rostreamqueue")
q.queuefile("sd:/Test_Count_Up_Blue_Frames.ts")
q.queuefile("sd:/Test_Count_Up_Green_Frames.ts")
q.loop(true)
c=createobject("romediastreamer")
v=createobject("rovideoplayer")
c.setpipeline([q, v])
c.start()
