[Solved] Can a video screensaver resume where it left off before playback was interrupted?

Hi…

I’ve created a video for a client that we’d like to have play back as a screensaver in their office. It is just a single video file that I intend on looping as a screensaver - so I will be adding only 1 video file to the iScreensaver project window.

Is it possible to have the screensaver resume where it left off before its playback was interrupted? For example:

-after a period of inactivity, screensaver is launched and starts playing from the beginning of the video
-after 2min, user is active again and screensaver goes away
-after another period of inactivity, screensaver is launched again. Can it resume playback at the 2min mark or will it start over again at the beginning of the video each time?

I’d appreciate any input on whether this is possible. And does this option exist on the iScreensaver side or on the local computer that is operating the screensaver? (The screensaver will be run on Windows XP and Windows 7 machines).

Thanks for any help!

Yes, this is what the “Resume with previous item” setting does in the Global Sequence settings panel. This is an author setting, the end-user can’t change it. See http://iscreensaver.com/help/help07.shtml#globalSettings
