Extron electronic SMD 101 manual Lists Panel - Channels tab, Lists Panel, Channels Tab

Lists

The Lists panel features an editable channel list for use with the optional IR remote control (see IR Remote Control on page 56), a drag and drop favorites list for convenient access of frequently played files, and the playback history. By default the player page opens with the Lists panel expanded to the right of the browser.

NOTE: M3U, M3U8, and PLS playlist formats do not support Playlist Title or Playlist Creator metadata. Text entered in those fields is not retained. If that information is required for your application, use .jspf or .xspf playlist format.

The Lists panel has three tabs: Channels, Favorites and History (see figure 19).

Lists Panel – Channels tab

Figure 19. Lists Panel, Channels Tab

The Channels tab displays a list of current populated channels. Up to 99 channels are individually defined by associating a stream, a file, or a playlist with a channel number and (optionally) defining a logical name for the channel.

Fields below the channel list show the currently selected channel number, channel name, and channel Universal Resource Identifier (URI). To assign a stream, file, or playlist to a channel, select and drag an item from the browser Files or Streams panel to the desired channel number. The channel name and URI are edited directly or new information is pasted from the clipboard of the host computer. The ellipses to the right opens a dialog box to read or modify longer paths or filenames.

To play a channel, select and drag an item from the Channels panel to the Player Controls panel or select a channel and click Load. To mirror typical IR remote control operation, the channel begins playing immediately regardless of the Load Play setting (see Load Play on page 17).

NOTE: Standard Windows keyboard shortcuts can be used to copy <CTL+C> and paste <CTL+V> the stream, file, or playlist to a channel number, or to copy a channel to the player.

The optional handheld IR remote control accesses this channel list to provide wireless program selection (see IR Remote Control on page 56).
