Need to set to kiosk mode/(auto play)

In a simple DVDSP project, please tell me how to set a movie to just start playing when the user puts the disc into their Win/or Mac computer - and hopefully, in an average set top player as well. I looked through the manual and it refers to kiosk mode and first play, and says it can be done - but I couldn't figure it out...If anyone could walk me through it, that would be a lifesaver! I'm in DVDSP3.
It's just a single movie file, about 5 mins. that I'd like to start playing when inserted...no menu or "play movie" buttons to click on are required.
many thanks!
Any help appreciated - I find the DVDSP manual complicated, and am still a beginner.
Dual 1.25 GHz PM/G4   Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

I suggest that you use Search in DVD SP's Help to find "First Play". This will tell you how to set a Track to First Play (so that it will play immediately the DVD is inserted).
My DVD SP (version 3) begins:
"To assign the First Play element in the Outline tab, do one of the following:
Control-click the disc element, then choose the First Play element from the shortcut
menu’s First Play submenu. This method ....."
In fact, on my system, a simple click on the background of the DVD SP window that appears at top left of the screen, (with its Graphical Tab active) will reveal the Disc Inspector at the right of the screen and you can set the First Play field to the Track that you want to be First Played.
(Then, if you want, you could select that Track, again in the top left window, so that its Inspector opens on the right of your screen. At the top is a field called "End Jump". Set this to the name of that track, so that it will start playing again when it reaches the end.)
What I don't know is how the user can interrupt the First Play Track so that he/she can get to the main menu so that he can access the rest of the DVD. Perhaps someone else can help here. I would like to know.

  • Need help setting up external hardrive to play itunes on 2nd Mac

    I have my main music collection on my Mac Pro (400 gigs).  I want to be able to use my Mac Mini downstairs to play my itunes collection.  I have attempted the following steps without success:
    Using my Mac Pro, I formatted a 2TB Seagate drive into two partitions (one to use as timemachine back up for the Mac Mini) the other to copy my itunes collection to.
    I copied my entire itunes folder onto that Seagate hardrive partition which I named :"Mac mini Itunes"
    plugged in seagate hardrive to the mac mini
    Opened itunes using the hold option button to choose the iTunes library on the external hardrive
    When I chose the iTunes folder located in that "mac mini iTunes" hard drive icon on my desktop, I get the following message:
    "The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission for this file"
    When I go to the Sharing and Permissions info on that "mac mini Itunes" hard drive icon, it shows "You can only read"
    Below that I see that the Name and privilege info is grayed out and I can not change anything.
    The Ignore ownership on this volume is checked but grayed out and I can not change it.
    Any suggestions on how I can use this hardrive to play my iTunes collection on my mac mini?
    Do I need to reformat the Seagate drive and do something different while partitioning the drive?
    Should I reformat it using the mac mini instead of the Mac Pro and then copy my iTunes folder to it?
    Thanks for any help

    Hello blakemj. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    For your described network configuration, you will want to reconfigure your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) as a "wireless client" to the Buffalo wireless router.
    Here's how ...
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    (Note: As a third option, you can temporarily connect the AXn directly to an available LAN port on your Buffalo wireless router during setup, and then, place it at the desired location when complete.)

  • File Set Up for CD Auto Play on Mac

    I have a small website that I need to burn to a CD and
    AutoPlay when inserted into a drive. I have set up a couple
    "AutoRun"executable files (for those PCs out there) which works
    fine, but the CD will not AutoPlay on a Mac. The HTML files (on the
    CD) display as Dreamweaver files, and when double clicked start up
    Dreamweaver instead of a browser.
    Any ideas on a work-around for the CD to AutoPlay in [any]
    browser on a Mac???
    Please help! Thanks!!

    from the page:
    AutoPlay on Macintosh OSX
    The AutoPlay feature was silently dropped under Mac OS X. For
    usability
    purposes, a readme file can be added to a CD's root folder to
    instruct the
    user about what to do. Many Macintosh resources recommend
    this for OSX as

    A number of workarounds to enable AutoPlay on OSX have been

  • I need help setting up airport express to play my Itunes music to my stereo

    Hello I am hoping someone can help me as I am at a total loss here. I have had an airport express for a few years and would stream my music to my stereo without any problems. A few months ago it would cut out every now and again but soon it got so bad it was unlistenable. I reset it many times  but to no avail.
    Now when I try to reset it by opening the airport utility it scans but does not find the airport express.
    I bought a pluglink ethernet adapter and connected it to the Airport Express  hoping I can run it through that but when I open up the airport utility it scans but still will not recognize the airport express.
    Is there some way to set this up .
    I have an IMac which has the latest operating system.
    Sincerely grateful for any help in this matter  Paul K.

  • Help needed in drivers of dso7450a setting mode= auto

    Hello
    I need help regarding the setting of option mode=auto in menu of mode coupling button of Agilent DSO 7450A & Quick Measure button how to use these two options  can any one help me out .
    Thanks in advance
    Ali 

    There is no such thing as a 7450 so I'm going to assume that you really meant 7054.
    It seems that is the TRIGWEAUT | NOR) command as documented on page 464 of the programming manual. I cannot find a function that allows you to set that - perhaps because the driver was originally written for a different model. The _ag6000a Default Instrument Setup.vi does set the sweep to normal. You can easily add a function that allows you to change between auto sweep and normal sweep. When you are done, be sure to post the finished function so that others can use it.
    I did not try to find the Quick Measure function but I will tell what I did to find the information about the sweep. First I looked in the operators manual for a description of the scope front panel command. Then I looked in the programming manual for the command that did what the button performed. When I found the command, I opened the VI Tree and did a text search for both 'AUT' and 'SWE'. I looked through all of the VIs that had the text and found none that implemented the command.

  • Some opinions please on Auto play?

    Hello, I finally have my site ready to start sending out to my piano students ... and so far from my friends have said they love the site.
    But I read a few articles where people are ranting full force about auto play music ... so my question please is this:
    Is this sort of auto play piece going to REALLY disturb anyone?  It's a gorgeous clip from a Chopin sonata, recorded by me and set at a low auto play volume.  It is easily accessible to turn OFF if it actually does annoy anyone.
    http://www.prodigypianostudios.com
    But I figure my target audience would appreciate this clip. 
    Please let me know if this set up conforms well to an artists / pianists site, and if there is a way to possibly have the first page come with a pop up that simply asks the visitor if it would like to start playing soft music ... or if they would like to continue with none?
    Thanks!
    ~Dustin 

    What you think is beautiful music others may find annoying and intrusive.  Consider the following scenarios:
    Your site visitors are listening to other media (iTunes, YouTube, web radio, CDs or whatever...).  If your site has autoplay, it will compete with whatever they're listening to resulting in a media cacophony.
    Perhaps your site visitors surf in close proximity to other people (co-workers, students, public library users) who don't appreciate gratuitous music.
    There's a sleeping baby in the next room... 
    Media on web pages must be presented with utmost care and consideration for your site visitors.
    Turn off Autoplay.

  • I want to set up firefox in kiosk mode, but I need to have the Back (and Forward) button and the Home button available.

    The computer will be used only for online catalog access in my library. I need to remove the location toolbar, but keep the back buttons and home button. If I use Kiosk mode, I don't have the back buttons. I can set it up so that I have the buttons but not the URL, but a user could right click on the menu bar and re-enable the location bar. I need to prevent them from doing that.
    Thanks!

    Users can always bring up a location bar with the Ctrl+L shortcut if that bar is hidden.
    A possibility is to hide toolbar items and (context) menu items with code in userChrome.css below the default @namespace line.

  • Need to permanently set network link modes (duplex and speed)

    Hello everyone,
    I have an Intel on-board network card  which does not play well with my FritzBox. According to Intel this is a known issue in how the card negotiates its link mode. Intel provided a tool to set the link mode under windows (because the standard windows settings did not persist). Now I successfully figured out how to set duplex and speed to the appropriate values but i have to do this every time on boot with
    $ ethtool -s eno1 speed 100 duplex full
    My question now is twofold:
    1. Is there any other way to persistently set those values? I know about mii-tool but this reports my card is not supported and I don't know if it would persist a reboot.
    2. If i need to run ethtool on every boot: What would be the preferred (best-practice) way to do it? I'm still really new to arch and Linux but cursory reading indicates to write a systemd service.
    Cheers
    Kai

  • Can't put IE Metro into full kiosk mode Win 8.1 Enterprise or set IE desktop as default in Assigned Access

    I have searched everywhere for this answer.  Kiosk mode/assigned access is excellent.  But it appears that you can only use IE Modern (Metro) for assigned access and the problem with that is I have found no way to completely lock down IE Modern. 
    I can only partially lock it down but users can still get to the address bar and settings very easily.
    I either need some advice on setting IE to complete lockdown or how to set IE desktop for Assigned  Access.

    I am afraid there is no such feature in metro IE. Maybe you could submit a feedback to

  • Need Safari showing Full screen in Kiosk Mode

    What we need:
    150 iPads shall start a web page in Full Screen Mode and they shall not be able to leave the Webpage (Exam-situation). I can set the safari into Kiosk Mode but the Safari is not full screen. On the other hand I can create a web app, which is full screen but I cannot start the web app in Kiosk Mode. What I really need is to start a web app in Kiosk Mode. Any Hints? We really need a solution for that.
    Cheers
    Detlef

    There is an app specifically for this with complete control of your web content and you can setup a secret admin pin which is the only way to disable the app and exit the kiosk session you setup. The app is totally free and also has very cool hardware support for expanded capabilities check it out:

  • Setting control bar to resume auto-play (Captivate 6)

    Hi,
    I am currently using Captivate 6 to create an eLearning course.  We have decided to display the bottom control bar to allow flexibility for the student to move between screens in each lesson.  Currently if the student uses the progress arrow in the control bar to move forward or backward the lesson pauses and the user has to press the Play button to resume the lesson.
    Does anyone know of a setting within Captivate or whether it is possible to program the control bar so that it will resume auto-play mode whenever the student uses the progress bar to move back and forth within a lesson?
    Cheers,
    Richard

    Hello and welcome
    I think you are talking about scrubbing the progress bar? I don't know about a way to achieve AutoPlay. Moreover, if your course is not linear, it is not a good idea to give free navigation that way at all. Same for the buttons on the normal playbars. I almost never use it for that reason. Another way to allow free navigation is the TOC (which you can have in overlay so that it can be hidden/shown by the user). In the TOC it is easier to show chapters, and if you add labels to the slides, at least user will know where he is going to.

  • Want movie to auto play -- do I need to import it twice?

    I made a 58-minute video in iMovie HD with iDVD chapters, then I clicked the button to send the movie to iDVD 5. The movie imported great into iDVD and was to take 3.9GB of a 4.0GB DVD. However, when I clicked the "map," I noticed the first slide was to auto play the movie. GREAT, I thought, that's what I want, as this DVD is for a bunch of seniors who would benefit from auto play, but then also being able to select a certain scene that they wanted to go back to (it is a video of a speaker on medicare with a corresponding printed outline).
    When I selected the movie from my movies folder and drug it to that first slide in the map field, which was auto play, I noticed that then the size of my project went from 3.9GB to 7.8GB. It would all fit on a DVD-R, but the quality would be reduced because with all that data, iDVD would need to compress more. I don't really need to import the movie twice, do I, if I want auto play AND chapter selection?
    My question is, is there a way to use the same movie in iDVD to auto play AND to be able to select the scenes/chapters I inicated? I tried to drag and drop the movie in the map view on the third slide to the first slide, but it would not allow me to move it, or set up an alias pointing to the original movie.
    I suppose I can delete the third slide movie that iMovie auto imported and then just import the movie manually to auto play area, but then I don't know if that will erase allow for the use of chapters. Does anyone know about this?
    Please help if you can. Thanks.

    I think I may answer my own question here. According to this page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164968, it says "iDVD doesn't create scene menus for autoplay movies." So if I want a movie to auto play AND have scene menus using the chapter markers, I will need to import the movie twice and just live with lower quality. If anyone else has any input, I'd love to hear it, but I really need to keep the scene menus in my movie AND would like auto play. For now, I think I will just pass on the auto play, as I need scene menus more than auto play.

    What is the problem specifiaclly?
    If the images are intended for web use I would recommend converting them to sRGB which could be done with Edit > Convert to Profile or with File > Save for Web, but as including a Save step in Actions and applying them as Batch can sometimes cause problems I would go with regular converting.
    You could also try Image Processor Pro.

  • Podcast app no longer auto-plays next episode. Is this a setting that I can change?

    After updating to iOS6 and downloading the app update, the the next episode in the "unplayed episode" list no longer auto-plays. I really liked that feature and would like to be able to turn it on again. Any one know if there is a setting and where it is? I've tried to find it to no avail. Thanks!

    Anyone has a solution for this ?

    Needless to say I had to stop listening to podcasts since the podcast App took over the music app.

  • Embedded SWF files auto starting in IE but set to not auto play - Chrome, Firefox, Safari work ok

    One of the web masters at my school has embedded several Captivate 5 swf files in a web page.  I had re-exported all of them to not auto start after we realized that the originals were set to auto play upon loading (someone else made the orginials...).  Caches have been cleared on IE9, but yet, when that page loads, all of the no auto-play swfs start playing.  On Chrome, Firefox and Safari, none of them start playing when the page is loaded.  Does anyone have a clue why IE9 might be doing this and how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Sue

    Am I correct in assuming that when your web developer set these SWFs up on the same page that he did not use the default HTM page that Captivate creates?  Did he just embed them into the web page using standard Dreamweaver code for SWFs?
    Do the same Captivate SWFs start automatically if you upload them to your web server individually with the HTM and JS files that Captivate creates?  If not, then your web developer might be better off embedding the content in his web page using individual iframes pointing at the HTM file rather than the method he previously chose.
