Timeout Event

...

The Timeout event displays a state for a predetermined period of time before the event is triggered.

In the Time on screen field, specify the number of seconds the state should display before the trigger. A zero value will display the state indefinitely.

When a Timeout event leads to an HTML widget, you should expect a multi-second delay while the HTML site is loading. HTML states wait until the page is fully loaded before they are displayed. BrightAuthor:connected and BrightAuthor do this to prevent signage consumers from watching pages load. Because the state will not be displayed until the page is loaded you should consider the load time of the page when assigning events to the state.

The Timeout event displays a state for a predetermined period of time before the event is triggered.

In the Time on screen field, specify the number of seconds the state should display before the trigger. A zero value will display the state indefinitely.

When a Timeout event leads to an HTML widget, you should expect a multi-second delay while the HTML site is loading. HTML states wait until the page is fully loaded before they are displayed to prevent signage consumers from watching pages load. You should consider how the following factors will affect the load time of the page when assigning events to the state:

  1. Your internet connection will affect load time for HTML pages, adding some number of seconds to the specified timeout event

  2. The timeout value in seconds plus the page load delay in seconds will equal the actual time between the previous state and the display of the HTML on the screen.

  3. Results may vary based on your connection speed and the complexity of the HTML page.

Media End Event

...

The Media End event is triggered when a video or audio file reaches the end of playback.

...

The Plugin Message event triggers when a message is received from a custom script plugin that is attached to the presentation. See the Parsers and Plugins tech note for more information on creating custom scripts that send plugin messages.
