STAND-ALONE MODE

Editing the Playlist File

1.Open the playlist.gpl file, located in the /playlists directory.

2.Locate the <media> tag at the top of the file. The <media> and </media> tags must surround each instance of video content.

<media> <FileName>........</FileName>

</media>

3. Type the full path (make sure to include a forward slash at the beginning of the path) to the video content, between the <FileName> opening tag and the </FileName> closing tag:

<FileName>/media/my_movie.mp4</FileName>

In this example, we only want to loop a single video file. However, if you need to play multiple video files, then each video file must be contained within its own <media> and </media> tags.

Example of multiple media files in a playlist:

<media> <FileName>/media/my_movie1.mov</FileName>

</media>

<media> <FileName>/media/movies/blockbuster.avi</FileName>

</media>

<media> <FileName>/media/bumper.mp4</FileName>

</media>

etc.
