How do I run an action when a video finishes?
The action follows natural playback completion.
Before you start
Open the intended collection/layout and prepare a safe rehearsal. Have the device, media or receiving service required by the task available.
Where to find it
See Use scene and source triggers for the exact controls and navigation.
Steps
- Choose a playback-capable source and turn looping off.
- Open its trigger editor and select Playback Completed.
- Add the intended action and target through Manage Actions.
- Enable the rule and let a rehearsal clip finish naturally.
Check the result
The action follows natural playback completion.
Helpful information
Manual Stop uses Playback Stopped; it is a different event. Playback Remaining also needs looping off.
If something is wrong
Confirm the event is offered by that source and another rule is not changing playback first.
