EXAMPLE 2

The goal of this example is to see how the players implement the begin = delay attribute on an object O in a sequence node when the previous object of O is a discrete object without any attribute.

• The temporal body in a SMIL like syntax :

  <seq>

  <img id = "image1">

  <img id = "image2" begin = "3s" dur = "7s">

  <img id = "image3" dur = "2s">

  </seq>

• The source code and media (tar.gz) The source code and media (.zip)
• The Smil intended behavior and the player results:

  We take to compute the Smil behavior of this example the rule that a begin = delay inside a seq expresses a delay from the Desired End of the previous child and not from the Effective end of it (as mentionned in the specification), in order to avoid a cyclic system of equations.

  

  

  

  

• Comments:
  • GRiNS :

    It is known that the GRiNS player does not correctly implement the fill attribute.

  • RealPlayer G2:

    The difficulty is masked by the used of a default value equal to 5 secondes for a discrete object without attributes.
