Rotator Customizations

I'm attempting to build a custom rotator of sorts. We'd like to be able to rotate through images AND video similar to digital billboards you'd see at a mall or shopping center. Two problems present themselves with this. First, how can I change the default time a carousel pauses before moving onto the next image? There's a div class of data-interval that can be set for the whole rotator but I need a different value for each slide (a 30 second video clip, 10 second pause on an image, etc.) I've been able to add a Content Channel attribute of Duration and used it in the Content Channel View block but not gotten it to work for individual slides.

The second issue is getting video to automatically play and then move onto the next item once finished. That seems to hinge on the first issue somewhat. I've created another attribute in my Content Channel of Video URL and tried the Video (Media Type) with little success.

Thanks in advance!

    Hey Jeremy, how far have you got with this?

      For now, I'm going to test out DigitalSignage.com. It's a free (mostly), open source project with some great features.

    What ratator/slider are you using? Usually you can set the interval using javascript. regarding the video issue I've not tried any with Rock recently but was planning to eventually use something like: http://bxslider.com/examples/video
