resume to movie not working

[srfscenar]

Hi all,

Its a question about resuming...
I read many threads, but I couldn't make it work.
In my case:
From pop up menu I call the trailer and when it finishes it resumes the movie with the resume command. All good.
If now (while resumed feature is playing) I press the TOP menu on the remote and go to top menu, and press again the Play button, I cannot make it resume the movie. I have only managed to play from beginning.

In short, Movie starts, call trailer, movie resumes, Jump to TopMenu from remote, Movie does not resume.

Should I be using the CallTitle command again?

Do you have any tips for achieving this?

Thank you!

OK,
what I managed to do is this:

I set a GPR"Resume" to 1 if the movie played and to 0 if not.
When going back to TopMenu, the Play button checks if the resume is 0 and Jumps to movie and if its 1 it resumes with the Resume command.

So, When I go to movie 1st time (set the ResumeGPR to 1), call the Trailer from the pop up (resume stays 1) and if I press the TopMenu from remote
I Jump to TopMenu.
If I press the Play button, despite the fact that ResumeGPR is still 1, plays from beginning and in Scenarist QC it crashes and stops.

Got any tips?
Can't figure out what I am doing wrong...

Thanks.

There's a piece about resuming on Blu-ray at the back on the manual, but off the top of my head, I think it's use CALL instead of JUMP and set the Resume Intention Flag for the Movie Object to Suspended rather than Discard.

Thanks dvdboy.

This is what happens in detail:

1. I have the resume intention flag of movie to Suspended. All others discarded.
2. In Top menu in PLAY button I have these commands:
a.If GPR Resume = 0, JumpTitle
b.If GPR resume = 1, resume

3. In Precommands of movie I set the resume to 1 and in post to 0
4. In movie PopUp I have a button that calls the trailer with the Call command
5. In trailer I have a post command that after played resumes the movie, with Resume command.

Now,
• When Top menu loads for the 1st time and press Play, it plays from start. Correct.
• If while playing I go to top menu from remote and press again the Play button it resumes. Correct.
• If while playing again, I go to PopUp menu and press Trailer button, it plays and when finishes resumes the movie. Correct.
• If now that is playing (resumed after trailer) I press the top menu and Play again, it resumes. Correct.
• Now, If while playing the movie, I go to trailer from PopUp and press the TopMenu and Play again, it starts from beginning and in Scenarist QC, crashes. NOT CORRECT. It should resume.

Resume GPR is 1 except when the movie ends.

From what I understood the problem occurs when jumping to Top menu from a title that is discarded and try to resume.
How can I change that?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

The player can only remember the resume state of the previous piece of video played. All video counts, so once you jump to the Top Menu (which is a piece of video, even if it's a still image), the only thing it can possibly resume to is the last piece of video you were playing (in this case, the trailer).

If you Top Menu out of the feature, resume works fine. If you Top Menu out of a bonus feature, the resume state of the feature is lost.

The best you can do is to remember what chapter you were in, and start the feature from that point (by manually jumping to that chapter), but once a second piece of video starts playing, you can't get back to the exact point of the feature.

(You can do it with Java menus though... But that's a whole different type of programming...)

Thank you very much!

So what I did is right? The commands are correct?
I will leave it to start from the beginning.

Hi srfscenar,

If i remenber you also need to put the resume intention flag of movie to Suspended for the topmenu

[srfscenar]

Hi perquin,

I am not sure what you mean. Where should I put it to suspended, to movie or Topmenu?
At the movie it is, at the Topmenu, I don't think it's necessary.
At least this way it works, because as rik said, "If you Top Menu out of the feature, resume works fine. If you Top Menu out of a bonus feature, the resume state of the feature is lost.", so it's impossible to resume the movie, if you TopMenu out of an extra.

Everything else works great.

Thanks!

put it to menu and topmenu.
