Using blockedKeys on videoplayer

I am trying to block some player keys. I have added a listener for 'onBlockedKeyPress' and I am doing the following :

CODE
_onBlockedKeyPress: function(event) {
		event.preventDefault();
		event.stopPropagation();
	},


if I press "pause" (one of my blocked keys), I can see, in the logs, the line saying a blocked key is called. I also logged my listener and it is properly executed.

However, the video is paused (instead of the pause being ignored).

What is the proper way to block keys ?

Regards
Jean-Noel

    If you want to keep the key blocked, then don't call preventDefault(). The default action on a blocked key is to "block" it. By stopping the action you are allowing the key to proceed through without being blocked. Hope that makes sense.

  • Ok. I must be missing something. I kept no code in my handler => pause still stops the video. I kept only the stopPropagation => same thing.

    The "pause key pressed" is not showed anymore but the video is still stopped. Looking in the logs, something else must be catching the event :

    I even tried to define a onPlayControlKeyPress handler but it did not do much (called after the "blocked key pressed").

    Thanks in advance for your help

  • Are you running this on the WDK? That log output makes me think you are running on another platform (Intel specifically).

  • I am running it of a Intel STB. What are the player keys equivalent in the simulator ?

    Unfortunately the blockedKeys functionality hasn't been certified yet on the Intel platform, so I can't insure it's working 100% yet. To test in the WDK to see if that's the issue, the command to type in via the console is:

    /key play

    for play and:

    /key pause

    for pause (stop follows a similar pattern).

    Make sure you have switched to your widget context before issuing those commands.

  • Thanks again Jeremy. ok for the Intel side of things.

    For the "/key ...", I am going to test that ASAP. This is going to be great. I assume the keys available are :

    play
    pause
    stop
    rewind
    fastforward
    skipnext ?
    skipprevious ?

    This is going to make testing the player a lot easier :-)

  • I think only play, pause, stop are available. I will double check.

  • The /key command may be case sensitive. Here are some key names you can send:

    Play
    Pause
    Stop
    Rewind
    Forward (or FastFwd, should be the same underlying key)

    also standards like:

    Up
    Down
    Left
    Right
    Select (or Enter)
    Home

    and

    Red
    Blue
    Green
    Yellow

  • Thanks for the answer :-). I tried it in the console (for instance "/key Pause") but the video keeps playing. Am I missing something ?
