<html> <head> <title>Blinker - Player</title> </head> <body> <h1>Blinker - Player</h1> <p> The player module plays Blinken movies from a playlist. </p> <h2>Configuration</h2> <p> The configuration of the player module with name <code>NAME</code> is located in the <code>players/NAME</code> subdirectory. </p> <h3>Playlist</h3> <p> The playlist contains all movies in the subdirectory <code>playlist</code>. The movies are played in alphanumerical order. </p> <h3>Output Stream</h3> <p> The file <code>outstream</code> contains the name of the stream to send the frames to. </p> <h3>Halt Stream</h3> <p> The player can be halted whenever another stream is active. Therefore, the name of the other stream is written to the file <code>haltstream</code>. When the halt stream becoms active, the current frame is frozen, i.e. the frame is kept. When the halt stream ends, the player resumes with the remaining time for the current frame and continues as usual afterwards. <br> If this feature is not needed, the file <code>haltstream</code> should not exist. </p> </body> </html>
