Scripting The Video Stream (Angle) Selection

NOTE that in order for Angle change to work, there must actually BE more than one Video Stream (Angle) programmed into the track currently playing. 

Controlling the video stream currently playing can be done a number of different ways, including directly from the Angle button on the DVD remote control.

Scripts can contain a SetSystemStream command that sets the value of the Audio stream to be played.

Here's what it looks like in the Script Inspector:

The syntax is pretty simple:

Set System Stream St(Stream#) 

<< Select the Video Stream to play

Note that only Streams that have been used can be selected.

When using Scripting, be sure to end every script with a Jump to some other element. Leaving this command off will cause the script to dead-end when the script execution is completed, thereby crashing the DVD player. 

That's It! - Enjoy this tutorial, and don't forget to rate it for others!
