repeatCount

repeatCount

The repeatCount attribute specifies the number of times that an element is repeated.

Syntax

  repeatCount = Numeric-value | "indefinite"

Remarks

The WMS SMIL Playlist Parser plug-in enforces case sensitivity on the repeatCount attribute.

This attribute must be one of the following values.

The repeatCount element can be used to repeat a single media element or an entire time container.

Example Code

In the following example, assume that Audio.wma has a 5-second simple duration. It is repeated twice, and the total active duration is 10 seconds.

<?wsx version="1.0"?>
<smil>
    <media src="c:\wmpub\wmroot\Audio.wma" repeatCount="2" />
</smil>

In the next example, Audio.wma is played three times before being stopped by the dur attribute of the smil element.

<?wsx version="1.0"?>
<smil dur="15s">
    <media src=" c:\wmpub\wmroot\Audio.wma " repeatCount="1000" />
</smil>

In the next example, Audio.wmv is repeated four times. If the value you specify for the repeatCount attribute is not an integer, it is rounded up.

<?wsx version="1.0"?>
<smil>
    <media src=" c:\wmpub\wmroot\Audio.wma " repeatCount="3.1" />
</smil>

You can also use the repeatCount attribute to repeat an entire time container. In the following example, the playlist is repeated three times and the total duration is 3*(10+20+30)=180 seconds.

<?wsx version="1.0"?>
<smil repeatCount="3">
    <media src=" c:\wmpub\wmroot\Audio_1.wma " dur="10s" />
    <media src=" c:\wmpub\wmroot\Audio_2.wma " dur="20s" />
    <media src=" c:\wmpub\wmroot\Audio_3.wma " dur="30s" />

</smil>
