{{ :logo-apl.png?nolink |}}===== Cues descriptor file format ===== ===== 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. ==== Cues file sample ==== 00:12:00|http://my.moodle.com/mod/quiz/view?id=144|continue|mandatory 00:24:00|http://my.moodle.com/mod/glossary/view?id=122|continue|optional The file should be UTF-8 encoded.
