Status: Needs information => Answered RaiMan proposed the following answer: I just made a test with the latest 1.1.3 nightly (on Mac ;-) Settings.UserLogs = True Settings.UserLogTime = True def handler(evt): Debug.user("in handler: black appeared") Debug.user("starting") basePath = "/Users/raimundhocke/IdeaProjects/SikuliX114/API/src/main/resources/ImagesAPI" setBundlePath(basePath) App.focus("safari"); wait(2.0); reg = App.focusedWindow(); black = "black_128" match = reg.exists(black, 10) if (match): Debug.user("black exists") match = reg.exists("sikulix2", 10) if (match): Debug.user("image exists") reg.onAppear(black, handler) Debug.user("start observing") reg.observe(10) The script shows, that the approach principally works. My workflow: - to simulate your video-area-gets-black scenario: the browser window shows an animated gif, that shows an image for 5 secs and then the image area as black for 5 secs - we first wait for the black image - then we wait for the image, to assure, that the observe starts with seeing the image - the we start observe this is the output: [user (09/08/2018, 13:50:12)] starting [log] App.focus: [0:safari] [user (09/08/2018, 13:50:15)] black exists [user (09/08/2018, 13:50:15)] image exists [user (09/08/2018, 13:50:15)] start observing [user (09/08/2018, 13:50:18)] in handler: black appeared It does not matter, wether observing in foreground or in background. Problems you might be facing: - the video image might be too black" and generates false positives - try with Pattern().exact() - timing problems: you should separate the definitions of the observation (onAppear) and the start of the observations, to have more control Be sure to use version 1.1.3 nightly - it has some fixes for observation. Be sure to have read the docs: there are some interesting features, that might be helpful in your situation https://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.io/en/latest/region.html#observing-visual-events-in-a-region -- You received this question notification because your team Sikuli Drivers is an answer contact for Sikuli. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : sikuli-driver@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
