View Full Version : Buttons commands and cell still time < 255

I wonder if a button command must be executed when the cell has finished playing.

Scenario:
One PGC with 3 cells. Each cell has a cell still time of 3 seconds.
Each cell has also a big, transparent button with a LinkTailPGC command. (The force select and force action buttons values are both 0, and the action delay is -1, the defaults.)

On my Sony, everything works as expected: if I don't click a button, each cell is played for 3 seconds, and after that, the post commands are executed. If I click a button, its LinkTailPGC command is executed, followed by the post commands.

On my KISS, it's very different. The first cell is played for 3 seconds, and then, the playback continues directly with the post commands. Seems the button command is executed, even if I don't activate it.
I have fixed the KISS problem by adding 2 cell commands. On cell 1, the command is LinkCN cell 2, and on cell 2, LinkCN cell 3. Now, the KISS plays cell 1, 2 and 3 in sequence, but doesn't continue automatically with the post commands when cell 3 is over! I suppose that adding a LinkTailPGC on cell 3 will fix this problem, too, but I haven't tried it yet.

Hence my question. What is the correct behaviour? Since the KISS is a strange and somewhat bad player, I think I must trust my Sony, but I'll appreciate a confirmation. Thanks in advance.

I agree the SONY should be correct. I can't imagine the auto execution being correct.

Seems the button command is executed, even if I don't activate it.

Imo if the button command would be executed the fix with the cell command would not work....

Is this a commercial DVD or self created?
Still- or motioncells?

Well, at the origin, it's a commercial DVD, with motion video.

The PGC is an intro, in the menu domain. I have menushrinked it, but I wanted to keep a still of those 3 cells, so, I have added the transparent button, to be able to select the frame I wanted in MenuShrink. Finally, I decided to keep the button, to be able to skip this intro. I have set the still time to 3 seconds manually, and the cell commands, as explained above. (BTW, the 3rd cell command, LinkTailPGC, works well.)

Therefore, now, it's a custom menu, with stills.

Imo if the button command would be executed the fix with the cell command would not work....I think the KISS player executes the cell command first! But if there is no cell command, when the still time is elapsed, it executes the button command. Strange, isn't it?

I have made another text: I have removed the buttons and the cell commands. All cells are played in sequence, normally. Therefore, it's not a problem with the stills.

Sorry! I'm really a stupid newbie! :rolleyes:
I've just updated the firmware of my KISS player and everything works fine now, without the cell commands.
Thanks for your help!
