'End Action' not working in Hardware player when chapter skipping. Suggestions?

Hey all. I am building a 2 disc BD set of my old band and have everything built using Encore CS5. The majority of functionality is working correctly however, I have a couple nagging issues that I can't seem to figure out. I am getting different results when simulating in Encore and testing on a hardware player (Panasonic BDT210, and PS3).
- The first disc has 10 buttons on a single menu page. The second disc has 1 menu page with 3 sub pages (4 total). Each button plays a different clip. At the end of media (End Action), it is supposed to return to the main menu with the button highlighted. Here's the kicker: When simulating in Encore, each clip plays through and returns to the main menu correctly, whether playing through, or chapter skipping through to the end. However, when playing back on a hardware player, all clips return correctly when playing through. But 3 out of the 10 clips on disc 1, and 2 out of the 7 clips on disc 2 will NOT return when trying to chapter skip out. I keep getting a player error stating "this option is not allowed" and you have to watch the remainder of the clip to the end, or Top Menu out. In each of the 5 clips, all chapters work but you can't skip out.
It doesn't seem to be a problem with the amount of chapters because some only have one, and some have up to 8. I double checked the "End Action" settings for every clip and they are set correctly. Plus everything works in Encore but not on disc. Why is there a problem with some clips and not others? They are all encoded the same.
Any help for this would be great. I work in the industry and it's frustrating when you can't figure out something simple like this. Thanks.

Could you post a screen shot of the flowchart window showing all the links and navigation?

Menu End Action not working on Blu Ray?

I am Blu-Ray authoring, and for some reason my animated menus simply repeat rather than automatically lead into the END ACTION timeline I have indicated.
When I preview in Encore everything works correctly but once I burn a Blu-Ray disc the disc does not execute the desired end action?
The Menu END ACTION works on normal DVDs.
Please advise?

Strange,
it works on my BR.
It doesn't seem to be a bug..............
Have you burnt directly from Encore or built an image, then made the BR?

End Action not working

Hi.
Encore 4.0.1.048
I noticed that the end action of a menu doesn't work properly. It pounts to a timeline, which never shows.
This was tested with ...
1. CyberLink PowerDVD 9 Ultra
2. MediaPlayer Classic
3. The actual DVD (DVD-9)
The structure looks like this:
Timeline (first play) -> general menu -> movie 1 menu -> movie timeline
The link between "movie 1 menu" and "movie timeline" dowsn't work properly.
1. PowerDVD revers back to "general menu"
2. MediaPlayer goes black
3. The actual DVD just stops playing the DCD.
Is this a known bug?
Thanks,

Chapter Playlists do not work with Blu-ray disks - this is mentioned in the Release Notes for Encore CS4, so one is stuck with overrides. Unfortunately nothing is said apart from the bald statement. As to whether it is a feature of Blu-ray or a feature of Encore I do not know the answer.
I have posed this question to Adobe Support, but as ever I do not have much hope of a valid answer. I expect that I shall spend much of my time re-stating that I do know how to start my computer, open a project in Encore, etc, etc.!
In my own case I want to do with Blu-ray what I have done many times in the past with DVD; have Play All for a single timeline on the main menu, a link to a sub menu which has buttons for each chapter. Each chapter plays when selected, and at the end of the chapter you are returned to the sub-menu. this works in Encore preview using overrides on the buttons, but I cannot get a disk produced from this to work in a player.

Chapter playlist end action not working right

Using Encore CS4 I have created nine sub-menus and each one contains a Chapter Playlist assigned to a button. The submenu's are titled by year starting with 2002. The problem I am having is that no matter what I set the end action or override to all the sub-menus return to the 2002 sub-menu. I have tried all the options for end action and override: return here, stop, link back to that same years sub-menu, stop, return to last menu and they all return me to the 2002 sub-menu.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Please outline how you want the finished DVD to behave. You'll help yourself out *a lot* if you hand-draw (with pencil and paper) a flowchart that shows how you want the audience to get from here to there and back again.
Until you do that, you will struggle with your disc's navigation.
That said, there are always several ways to achieve your navigation goals. Your existing design may work once all of the overrides are removed. You still haven't described what happens when you change all of the overrides in the project to Not Set.

Chapter point End Action not working

I'm creating a a training DVD in which one timeline has several spots where the DVD should pause while the class discusses the scene that has just played. I've added 5 seconds of black to mark those spots, and at the beginning of the black I have a chapter point that has an End Action to go to a menu with a "Continue" button. At the end of the black I have another chapter point that the "Continue" button links to. On one of the point that route to the "Continue" menu, it doesn't route to the menu, but just jumps back to the last chapter point...essentially looping that section. It doesn't do this when I "Preview" from the main menu...all works correctly there, but when I Build the project to DVD Folders and play on my PC, that's when it happens.
Steve Brame

Nope...no overrides are set. I have several other chapter points on the timeline that are set up identical to this one, and they link correctly to their respective menus...only this one didn't. I deleted the point and recreated it and now it works. I'd noticed several other Chapter Point issues here that were solved by this action.
Thanks!

VERY New to Encore....End Action Not Set?

I just upgraded (today) to Premiere CS5. I've been able to get to the point of burning my project and "Check Project" found an error. It was "End Action not set" for my sequence. I'm not 100% what this means (and a search turned up 370 items, leaving me overwhelmed).
Is it asking what I want to happen after the last chapter in the sequence does (like return to the Menu default) or is it asking me what will follow after playing chapter one in my sequence? I really doubt it is the last option but seeing as it is showing a still form a scene from chapter one I want to be sure that I link the correct thing from the get go.
Don't bash me, I know I'm stupid!

In the Check Project Message box, Dbl-click on that error/warning message, so that you can see exactly where it found the issue.
In this case, there is an Asset, probably a Timeline, with no End Action set. This End Action tells the DVD player what to do next, like Return to Last Menu. Note: you can have an End Action on several different Assets, like Playlists and Chapter Playlists. Also note: if one has a Playlist with an End Action, and in that Playlist are Timelines with their own End Actions, the End Action of the Playlist takes precedence, and Check Project will issue a warning message (looks like an error message, but is just informing you of this precedence) to that effect. So long as that is what you want, just ignore that notification.
End Actions tell the DVD player what to do next. As mentioned above, it could be to Return to Last Menu, it could be to Go to another Menu, and you can even, with Specify Link and the drop-down, tell it to go to a Menu with a particular Button highlighted. It could also be used to make a Timeline Loop, where you would set its End Action back to the beginning of that Timeline. You could also set one Timeline's End Action to go to another Timeline. Lots of possibilities.
Remember that I told you Encore was more involved, than PrE's semi-auto authoring. Do not be overwhelmed, but just take it slowly. Soon, when you get the "lay of the land" down, you will greatly appreciate the new power and control that you have. Being overwhelmed will be replaced by great joy, and you will feel like a god.
I would like to make one recommendation, and you WILL thank me later: Jeff Bellune wrote a great book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press, ISBN 0-240-52004-1. Do not be put off by the title and the version, EncoreDVD 2.0 (I know you have CS5). Everything in that book applies 100% to Encore CS5. Now, CS5 has added some "stuff," that will NOT be in the book, but this forum and the Help files will step you though those. Jeff's book will take you through all of the aspects of Encore and navigating the DVD-specs. He'll also teach you how to create illusions, that seem to override the DVD-specs. Of course we cannot do that, but the user will think that we have. This book will soon become your go-to for almost everything in Encore.
Good luck,
Hunt

NetStream.send not working in Flash Player 11.2 Beta with Cirrus, Please confirm if it is a bug

Title
NetStream.send not working in Flash Player 11.2 Beta with Cirrus, Please confirm if it is a bug or feature
Description
Problem Description:
NetStream.send can not send data to peerstreams when using with cirrus. Conflict with documents.
Sorry for tag the build as 11.0.1.3 while the bug is actually on 11.2 beta since the bug report system didn't have 11.2 beta yet.
If you are not responsible for 11.2 beta bug fix, please help a hand to handle this bug to 11.2 team.
This bug is "killing" to your application, so we really appreciate your help. Thanks.
==Publisher==
nc.connect("rtmfp://");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
ns.publish("sendtest");
...//after connection success.
ns.send("clientfunction", "ok"); // this line cannot reach subscribers. even if subscribers have client object correctly.
==Subscriber==
nc.connect("rtmfp://");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc, cirrusid);
var client:Object = new Object();
client.clientfunction = clientfunction; // target function
ns.client = client;
ns.play("sendtest");
Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile the code in the attachment to SendTestExample.swf (not be able to paste it here)
2. run it under flash player 11.2.202.19 beta
3. run it under flash player 11
Actual Result:
HeartBeat is:
Start HeartBeat:
send hello
send hello
send hello
which means NetStream.send was not able to call "clientfunction" as expected.
Expected Result:
Start HeartBeat:
send hello
in client function: hello
send hello
in client function: hello
send hello
in client function: hello
which can call into the clientfunction as flash player 11 did.
Any Workarounds:
I can not find it out since it's an api level bug. But this can be very important for lots of applications which rely on send to do rpc.

"Orphan Timeline" & "End Action Not Set." What does this mean????

I am setting up a Blu-Ray DVD in Encore. I have a project on a Premiere Pro CS 5.5 Timeline, which is 2 and a half hours long with 24 Encore chapters in it. I have not yet Encoded it in Media Encoder as of yet.
I am setting up all my menus and buttons in Encore so all I have to do is link the buttons to them main project when I do encode it and then I can just Check it and Burn it.
I did check my project just now though and all buttons came up with 2 Errors:
1) Orphan Timeline
2) End action not set.
1) "Orphan Timeline", I assume that means that the button is not linked to any timeline as of yet, correct? (This would be true because there is no main project timeline in there yet.)
2) "End action not set." What does this mean? Will this go away once I add my whole project into Encore and I link up all of the buttons to the timeline?
Thanks in advance
Premiere Pro CS 5.5
Encore 5.5
Media Encoder 5

1) Orphan Timeline
2) End action not set.
Both of these suggest that you created a timeline in the Encore project, perhaps with no "asset" in it.
Yes, ignore both messages for now. But I prefer creating the timeline after, or along with, importing the asset into the Encore project.
If you believe you have not created a timeline, post a screenshot of your "flowchart."

CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList is not working in Windows VISTA.When

CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList is not working in Windows VISTA.When I run the Application from vista using a jar file.But it is running if i run it from class file without use the jar file.

This pretty much says it all:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.What version of Vista?
What version of the agent? ... 10g is not a version number it is a marketing label
Did you check to see if the agent is compatible with your operating system?
My recommendation would be to get a real operating system: Either Oracle Linux or XP.
