Video Play Event Trigger (1 Viewer)

[mightymike]

Is there a way to use the event trigger for when a video is started? I would like to build a plugin that will dim my lights when a video is started.

You are looking for an Action, not an event. In your plug-in override the OnAction method and listen for the Action.ActionType.ACTION_MUSIC_PLAY action. Don't be misled by the name, it is called ACTION_PLAY_MUSIC but it is triggered for any sort of playback. Maybe a relic from the old days? I dunno.

You can see the implementation in Moving Pictures here. Your's will probably need to be a little different because I assume you're doing a process plug-in rather than a window plug-in. Never messed with the process stuff so maybe some method names are a little different, but generally that is what you want to do.

Good luck. ^^
