Content Directory

Prior to making changes to PDS Player content by means of the PDS Web Controller, content managers should create a central directory for all video, text, and PowerPoint files intended for distribution to PDS Players. These directories must reside on the C: drive of the computer running the Web Controller.

For situations in which a single content manager is responsible for all content distributed on a network, Polycom recommends creating the directory C:\Content.

For implementations in which multiple content managers oversee the same network, we recommend creating the directory C:\[ContentManagerName].

If properly configured on the computer running the Web Controller, this directory will automatically be created on the target players during the Playlist publication process.

NOTE: Data files that supply information for the various Trivia, News, and Weather templates must reside in the C:\XPresenterContent\Data directory. The processes for updating these files are outlined in subsequent sections below.
