Daily Playlist
In order to have different playlists throughout the week without having to manually update them every day, you can create daily playlists based on the date.
1.Create a playlist as seen in the previous steps.
2.Rename the file from play.lst to the date when that list should be used. As an example: 20070408.lst
3.Create as many lists as you like and store them on the local drive or the remote folder in the root directory.
4.Every day at midnight, the DS5 will automatically refresh the content and if there is a specific playlist found for that day, it will rename the file to play.lst and use it for playback throughout the day. If the unit is not running at midnight, it will refresh the content as soon as it’s started.
Note: Always use 8 numbers for the date (example: 20070408). To use the daily playlist function, make sure the DS5 has access to a NTP server to synchronise the time.
If there is no particular playlist for that day, the DS5 will use the list from the previous day that has already been renamed to play.lst.
