Play Video on Demand

The SMD 101 can play video on demand from network shares and local storage supporting the following file types:

Video: mp4, ts, m2t, m2ts, mov*, 264, m4v, flv*, and sdp.

NOTE: *Supports files that use H.264 encoding and AAC audio only.

Images: bmp, jpg, jpeg, tif, tiff, png, and gif.

NOTE: TIFF files using JPEG compression are not supported.

Audio: wav, aac, and m4a.

Playlists: jspf, m3u, m3u8, pls, and xspf.

Play Video from a Network Share

The shared folder must be added to the player browser file list.

To add a shared file folder:

1.From the files browser, click Network Shares. The Network Shares dialog box opens.

Network - Shares

Network Path: \\192.168.127.101\SharedFolder

User Name:

Password:

Options:

Local Name: MediaShare

Reconnect at power up:

Save Cancel

Network Shares

Figure 47. Network Share Configuration

2.Enter the path of the shared folder.

Network Path: Server address (or server name) and share name format depending on protocol:

SMB/CIFS: \\<server_ip_address>\<share_name>\<optional_ directory>

NFS: server:/<share name> where server can be the IP address or host name of the server.

NOTE: Network shares supports both IP address and host name path options. For example, the host name in figure 47 is HOSTSERVER. The Network Path: name is then: \\HOSTSERVER\SharedFolder.

4.If the folder has a user name and password assigned, enter them in the next fields. User Name: Optional user name, if required.

Password: Optional password for the user name.

5.If necessary, enter additional switches into the options field (see Network Shares Dialog on page 85). This field is used to pass credentials, if required. By default, the CIFS mount adds “user=” and “guest=” to the mount options, for an anonymous login. No spaces are allowed between the user and password (Example: user=username,pass=password).
