5. Next, the playlist ﬁle will be speciﬁed. Make sure to use the leading forward- slash in the path when specifying the full path to the schedule ﬁle

<FileName>/playlists/playlist.gpl</FileName>

<FileName>/playlists/playlist.gpl</FileName>

<FileName>playlists/playlist.gpl</FileName>

As mentioned earlier, the playlist.gpl ﬁle can be renamed to something more meaningful, if you like. For now, the important thing to note is that both the ﬁlename and directory path are spelled correctly.

Let’s look at what we have in our existing schedule.gsh ﬁle:

<DefaultEvent> <DayOfWeek>1,1,1,1,1,1,1</DayOfWeek> <EventStart>00:00:00</EventStart> <EventEnd>23:59:59</EventEnd> <FileName>/playlists/playlist.gpl</FileName>

</DefaultEvent>

This is our default event. The schedule.gsh ﬁle must contain a default event, using the <DefaultEvent> and </DefaultEvent> tags. See page 29 for more information on the default event

6. We did not make any changes to this ﬁle, so just close the ﬁle.

Next, we will edit the playlist.gpl ﬁle, and substitute the existing media with your own.

NOTE: Refer to the supported ﬁle formats and make sure that the media ﬁle(s) you are using is supported by the Media Player.
