Adding More Video Content to the Playlist

Running only one selection of video content may not always be what you want to do. The Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player is capable of playing several pieces of video content. Here’s how to add more than one file to the playlist:

1.Safely eject and remove the USB drive from the Media Player, then plus the USB drive into an available USB port on your computer.

2.Open the playlist.gpl file, located in the /playlist directory.

3. Create an additional <media> tag below the first set of <media> tags, and specify the next piece of video content:

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

</media>

<media> <FileName>/media/movie2.mp4</FileName>

</media>

NOTE: Always create a separate <media> tag for each media file to be played. Only one media file can be specified within the <media> and </media> tags.

4.Save the playlist.gpl file to the /playlists directory.

Changing the Playlist Order

When the playlist.gpl file is read by the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player, the file is read from top to bottom. So, in the example above, movie2.mp4 will be played after my_movie.mp4. If you want to play movie2.mp4 before my_movie.mp4 , edit the playlist.gpl file so it appears like this:

<media> <FileName>/media/movie2.mp4</FileName>

</media>

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

</media>
