Saving stream settings

Saving stream settings

  That was the other question I was trying to get answer. What is the difference between selectedAudioTrack and currentAudioTrack

  Thanks in advance.

  Also for titleEnd you should look at the event's id property. It tells you the title that ended (the current title is the new one). Either way, you shouldn't need to know what the title was; if you look for selectedAudioTrack it should give you the right answer, even if there is no currentAudioTrack that matches.

  Why save the user's track settings when the title ends What about when they just change the tracks with the audio_track and subtitle_track events

  I decided to blog about it -- http://blogs.msdn.com/ptorr/archive/2007/02/20/the-difference-between-selected-and-current-tracks.aspx

  In that case, just make sure your stream numbers are the same OR they are completely different but the language codes are the same. Then the player will do it for you.

  I'm not sure I follow - why are you listening for title_end instead of audio_track and subtitle_track

  Unless you have complex rules for maintaining settings (or need to have a different saved value for each title), the player should attempt to select the correct track for you (see Peter Torr's blog about selected vs current tracks). So, you might not actually have to have any script for this at all.

  Also, if there is code that does maintainence for multiple titles on a disc, its usually better to go with a playlist app rather than multiple title apps that all perform the same functions.

  I had a scenario where user could jump between titles with different advanced applications and the settings should be kept.

  When I have to save things like that I do this in the appropriate event handlers of audio-/subtitle change.
