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).

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.
