How to use the Full Screen Video Player robot skill
Play videos in a fullscreen window that sits on top of everything else. Excellent for facial animations or user messages.Use ControlCommands to specify videos to play fullscreen. The ESC key can be pressed while a video is playing to cancel the video. Once the ESC key is pressed, this robot skill will not play another video until the Pause New Playback checkbox has been unchecked.
Robot Skill Main Window
1) This checkbox will be checked when the ESC key is pressed during video playback. This feature is to prevent emergency loops that continually play videos. When ESC is pressed, this checkbox is checked. No further video playback can be done until this is unchecked by either ControlCommand or manually.
2) The logging information for errors and activity
Javascript Example
This example will play a video and demonstrate the ControlCommand syntax.
Code:
// Begin playing a full video screen
ControlCommand("Full Screen Video Player", "Play Video", "C:\\Users\\dj\\Videos\\Screen Recorder\\637427907140785293.wmv");
// wait for 3 seconds while the video is playing
sleep(3000);
// Start playing another video
ControlCommand("Full Screen Video Player", "Play Video", "C:\\Users\\dj\\Videos\\Screen Recorder\\637430717372916488.wmv");
// wait for 2 seconds while the video is playing
sleep(2000);
// Pause the video
ControlCommand("Full Screen Video Player", "Pause Video");
// Wait for 2 seconds while the video is paused
sleep(2000);
// Resume playing the video
ControlCommand("Full Screen Video Player", "Resume Video");
// wait for 3 seconds while the video has been resumed
sleep(3000);
// Stop the video and close the video player window
ControlCommand("Full Screen Video Player", "Stop Video And Close");
Resolution Scaling
There is a known issue with the 3rd party video library where the video will only display on a portion of the screen. This issue is raised when the Window's scaling resolution is set to a value other than 100%. The workaround for this issue is to set the Window's scaling resolution to 100%.
ControlCommand("Full Screen Video Player", "Play Video", "C:\\Users\\ATOM X\\Documents\\ATOMX\\faces\\3Atom_bravo.mp4")
or your directory is wrong where the 3Atom_bravo.mp4 is located
Mine works fine
Code:
Not sure if it is something related with WIN 11 as it worked well when i had Win 10.
I found something that could help and is that I started with an empty ARC file and merging the skills and testing each time. When I merged the skill for Speech synthesis and Speech synthesis Settings, I started to have the problem.
Also I noticed that the Smart Variable Watcher generates a problem in the Camera skill when trying to track something.
I hope this helps.
Code:
I am using the same script that worked before. The only change is that I included in the project the Speech Synthesis and bing speech recognition skill. Thanks in advance.
