Play Video on Demand

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

Video: [mp4,ts,m2t,m2ts,mov*,264,m4v,flv*,sdp]

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

Images: [bmp,jpg,jpeg,tif,tiff,png,gif],

NOTE: TIFF files using JPEG compression are not supported.

Audio: [wav,aac,m4a]

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

The shared folder must be added to the player browser file list. To add a shared folder:

1.From the Files browser (click the Files tab in the browser panel), click Network Shares.

Network - Shares

Network Path: \\192.168.127.101\SharedFolder

User Name:

Password:

Options:

Local Name: MediaShare

Reconnect at power up:

Save Cancel

2.In the Network Path: field, enter the full path of the shared folder using the IP address or host name of the server.

3.Enter a user name and password in the next fields, if assigned.

4.Enter a local name for the shared folder.

NOTE: A local name for the shared folder (in this example, MediaShare) is optional. If the user does not define a name, it defaults to the server folder name (SharedFolder in figure 9).

5.Click Save.

The SMD 101 connects to the shared folder and installs it under the default Shares folder of the files browser.
