E.5.4 Quitting the Video Player
Although AnswerBook2 and your browser software will launch the video player for you, it will not quit the player for you. The software has no way to determine when you have finished watching the video, or whether you intend to use it for watching other videos that are not part of the AnswerBook2 collection. Quitting the player is up to you. If you are using the ShowMe TV player on a Sun server, you should configure it to quit after playing the video file. Otherwise, it will play the file continuously until you stop it. For instructions, see Section E.4.1 “Configuring Web Browsers to Use ShowMe TV” on page 295.
Here are some reasons to make sure you quit the video player when you have finished viewing a video:
If you stop or pause a video player, the large video file remains in your /swap
4space. You should quit your video player when it is not in use to free /swap space.
On a Sun server the ShowMe TV video player will appropriate the audio device on your system, so if you try to play a second video, or use another application that requires audio, the second application will not be able to deliver its audio portion. You should quit the video player to keep the audio device available for
4other videos or other applications.
If you are using ActiveMovie on a PC, quitting the movie player is still advisable but less critical. ActiveMovie does not loop the video file, nor does it capture the audio device exclusively. But ActiveMovie will remain on your desktop until you exit the application, and the file you are playing remains in your swap space.
