Synchronize task progress to the progress of a video
Introduction
This application note gives an example of how tasks can be synchronized to the progress of a video. In this case we just time some messages to appear to the screen but this setup can control any property available in Blocks. There is an example Blocks root available to download from here. General setup instructions can be found here. In this exanple it may be useful to allow the browser to autoplay a video with audio without any user interaction. Follow this guide to enable autoplay on your personal computer.
Try it
Open up the Blocks editor and open up a second browserwindow that will serve as our displayspot by type localhost:8080/spot in the URL bar. The display may have to be reassosiated to the DisplaySpot.
Do not manually load the Example block on the displayspot. This will be done form the task.
To test drive, just make sure you use the root block from above and then use the little playbutton to manually start the MyCues task.
