===== MPlayer Module =====

Cues are moments in the video timeline where an action can be triggered.

The MPlayer module parses a Cue descirpion file as a flat text file with one cue information per line as follows.

A cue has four information:

   * **The cue action timestamp:** Specifies the time when the event fires calculated from the start of the clip. It is formatted as a hour:minutes:seconds expression.
   * **the action URL:** What URL to open when event fires.
   * **Resume mode:** What has to be done when user closes the action event popup. Usual actions are : "nothing", "reset" or "continue". 
   * **Optionnal:** This informs the user that processing the required event is expected as a mandatory option or optional. (Experimental. At the moment is informative, but may have functional impact such as popup modality). 

==== In discussion ====

Experimentations are investigating in accepting a first additional information that would be:

   * **the clip index:** Points to the clip the cue is defined for.

In that perspective, cues may be provided as a single file for all clips and not as a clip per clip file.
