This Control allow to play back videos for e.g. help or advertising
Videos will only be played in full screen mode regardless of size and the location properties of the popup set in Video and Popup components in ui.xaml
When the video popup is displayed the video will start and when the popup is closed the video will stop.
| Note: When the video is shorter than the popup display time the popup will grow black. We recommend to set the popup time equaly long as the videos play time |
The video path is configured with the VideoPath parameter in the <TFT:Video> tag. We recommend strongly to use the special folder \Storage Card\Media\Video\. Videos in the folder \Storage Card\Media\Video\ are copied to the RAM memory at start up. Since RAM memory is limited the smallest videos are copied first up to a total size of 50MB. Videos load faster from RAM memory than from the Storage Card.
Videos not stored in the \Storage Card\Media\Video\ folder will be loaded on request when the popup opens.
We Recommend to place these folders also in the \Storage Card\Media\ but with a different name
Limitation
•Do not use videos outside the normal purchase flow on solar operated terminals
•The video format is *.wmv using the WMV 9 compression
•It is not recommended to use videos in panels
•It is not recommended to use videos in ExternalPayUnit Popups since the two external pay unit controlled popups are common for the dll. The dll reuses the popups and changes only the text. If a video is configured in these popups all popups will play the video every time the popup is called for.
•Videos are played in full screen mode
•Videos shorter than 3 seconds are not recommended
•Videos longer than the activity timer (default 60s) in sleep mode are not recommended
