 |
|
from what I can tell QT does not make it easy to log what it is playing.
I am using QT to run a kiosk and need to be able to log what it plays.
my solution was to embed a HREFTrack in each of my mov files to call a
url that triggered a log event.
works great. the problem is that QT also does not offer the ability to have it run off a Playlist.
Enter SMIL. Smil works great to manage QT and have it run a Playlist automatically.
the Problem is that SMIL disables the HREFTracks in the mov files. so
I need a way to use smil but also log what is played.
IDEA! instead of using HREFTracks, maybe I could use SpriteTracks to trigger a URL at a given frame and do my logging.
Looks promising, Wired Sprites seem to run fine in QT when running a SMIL playlist but now I am at the end of my expertise (O did I mention
I am a PC guy running XP, don't hate me).
SO here are my questions.
1 does anyone have a better solution to log what quick time plays?
2 does anyone know who I can hire to build me a wired sprite that will
read the current track name/id and call a url (preferable in an iframe)?
Please.!? 
Thanks |
