Network Shares

In a current session, the folder view is retained after the user collapses the browser, changes tabs within the browser, or changes the page (for example, from Player to Configuration). The default view (top folders expanded and all sub-folders collapsed) is restored each time the web interface is opened or refreshed.

NOTE: Right‑click on file browser items for additional actions. When renaming files or folders, the web interface enforces SIS file name and path requirements. Spaces are not allowed.

When creating folders or uploading files using a SFTP client, spaces are allowed and fully supported.

A clip or playlist is loaded for playback by dragging the selected item from the browser and dropping it inside the Player Controls panel.

Filter

The drop-down filter limits the browser files display to any combination of the following file types:

•Clips — compatible video files.

•Playlists — compatible playlist files created by the user.

•Images — compatible image files.

•Audio Only — compatible audio files.

NOTE: The quantity, size, and contents of shared folders on the network are initially unknown. In order to maximize performance, the filter is applied only to one level below the currently expanded folders.

When a user expands a folder, it is then indexed and filtered.

Load

Loads the currently selected file (audio, clip, image, or playlist) to the player.

Click Network Shares to open the network shares dialog. This allows connection to a network directory or drive for access to compatible files (see figure 18).
