  This is interesting. I could not get it to work though. Anyone have a small example

  That makes things so much easier. Thanks.

  Section 7.5.2.4.1 will point you to Annex W.2-1 (and some other tables).

  Note that some XPaths are set at the time the page was loaded (ie, won't change) and others are set every tick (so will change).

  Using $playState for switching graphics does sound like a better way, can anyone give an example (got no specs)

   BTW. if you want to use script just catch the pause, 0xB3, button that should solve the issue when a user presses pause.

  Or without the use of a variable:
  
  function pauseHandler()
  {
      try
      {
          if (Player.playlist.playState == Player.playlist.PLAYSTATE_PAUSE)
          {
              Player.playlist.play();
          }
          else
          {
              Player.playlist.pause();
          }
      }
      catch (err) {}
  }

  <cue begin="($playState=1)" end="($playState!=1)" select="id('playPauseButton')">
  <set style:backgroundColor="blue"/>
  </cue>

  <cue begin="($playState=2)" end="($playState!=2)" select="id('playPauseButton')">
  <set style:backgroundColor="red"/>
  </cue>

  Interesting. Peter, is there a list of all player properties usable through XPath variables somewhere in the spec
  I cannot remember seeing something like this...
  
  Cheers,

  Also I would recommend NOT changing the graphic when the button is pressed, since that won't work if the user presses the pause key manually. Rather, I would trigger the graphic change based on the playstate changing; you can do that in the markup by referencing the $playState XPath variable.

  This code doesn't seem to work on the sonic emulator unfortunately but it does work on the ihdsim.

  I've used this:

  var playing=1;  //put this line outside of function

        if(playing==1){
           Player.playlist.pause();
           playing=0;
        }else{
           Player.playlist.play();
           playing=1;
         }
