Chenge video title

[marco]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to change the video title trought AcrionScript.

I'm able to retrive the title using "videoPlayer.getCurrentVideo().displayName" variable, but its sseems that "displayName" is a read only variable.

There is any way to change it dinamically?

Thanks

Hi Marco,

There's no way to change the actual video's name through ActionScript, you'd need to interact with the database - using the Media API, the Media Manager, or Batch Upload to actually alter the value.

If you're just trying to change what displays run-time, I haven't tried this before but you might be able to figure a way to do it using a custom template and your own code. In our templates, the Title shown is bound to the displayName value:

<TitleLabel  width="160" height="40" 
  text="{videoPlayer.selectedItem.displayName}" type="title" />

I'm not sure how exactly it could be done, but removing this binding and setting the value yourself might be possible? I hope this helps give you some ideas.

Marco,

If you create a custom template you can bind the displayed title in the player to a different variable.
