The following are the options on the Play menu.
Play/Pause
When stopped or paused the content is played. When playing the content is paused.
Note: some content, such as live multicast, cannot be paused.
Stop
When content is playing or paused this stops the playback.
At Duration
Use this option to set how the player behaves when it reaches the duration
specified by the content. The duration is indicated on the control panel in the
right hand one of the two time displays. If the duration is unknown then the
display will show --:--:-- and playback will continue indefinitely.
- Continue will continue playing beyond any duration specified. For content
that has a definitive length this is not very useful. For some animated MPEG-4
Systems content, whose animation is indefinite (or authored with a short duration),
this allows the content to be played as long as the user wants to see it.
- Stop will stop the content playback once the duration specified by
the content is reached.
- Restart will replay the content over again from the beginning
each time the specified duration is reached.
Frame rate
This is more of an advanced option and allows the rendering frame rate
to be altered. By default it is set to Auto which attempts to manage the
frame rate automatically and targets 30fps (frames per second) but backs off
if the content is process intensive. The other rates are fixed targets that
may be useful on occasions.
Mute
Mutes any audio playback.
