The current release of QuickTime 5 includes the addition of a number of new Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) attributes, discussed in this section.
New SMIL Attributes
URL Resolution
The SMIL attribute, "qt:preroll",
accepts an integer representing the number of seconds to open and
prepare to play an embedded movie. The attribute can be added to
any media object; the default remains 15 seconds.
The begin-clip and end-clip attributes are now supported for media elements.
"qt:fullscreen" can
be set in the SMIL header; it accepts one of the following values:
qt:fullscreen="fullscreen_false" |
qt:fullscreen="fullscreen_normal" |
qt:fullscreen="fullscreen_double" |
qt:fullscreen="fullscreen_half" |
qt:fullscreen="fullscreen_full" |
qt:fullscreen="fullscreen_current" |
Relative URLs now work with qtnext user data and with the "qt:next" attribute
of SMIL documents. Therefore, the following now works:
<smil
xmlns:qt="http://www.mywebsite.com/quicktime/resources/smilextensions"
qt:next="in_the_same_directory_as_this_document.mov">
.
.
.
</smil>
In QuickTime 5, SMIL and HTML documents can now use BASE URLs that point to directories. For example:
file:///mydrive/dir1/dir2/lookhere/ |
SMIL and HTML documents can also use BASE URLs that point to dummy entries, as long as their parent directories are valid. For example:
file:///mydrive/dir1/dir2/lookhere/bogus.html |
