Specification of Playlist File
Since firmware version 2.2.0 ArtistaMEDIA supports playlists to define the order, in which several
media files are played back. Further, the audio volume, the display brightness or the image length
is defined here.
The playlist file must be called “
playlist.xml
” (case sensitive).
The internal structure of the playlist file is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AMPlaylistDoc Title="Example Playlist" Version="2.0">
<AMPlaylist_Entry>
<AMEntry_Title>image_1.aib</AMEntry_Title>
<AMEntry_LengthMs>5000</AMEntry_LengthMs>
<AMEntry_Brightness>80</AMEntry_Brightness>
</AMPlaylist_Entry>
<AMPlaylist_Entry>
<AMEntry_Title>video_1.avi</AMEntry_Title>
<AMEntry_Vol>100</AMEntry_Vol>
<AMEntry_Brightness>80</AMEntry_Brightness>
</AMPlaylist_Entry>
<AMPlaylist_Entry>
<AMEntry_Title>video_2.mp4</AMEntry_Title>
<AMEntry_Vol>100</AMEntry_Vol>
<AMEntry_Brightness>80</AMEntry_Brightness>
</AMPlaylist_Entry>
</AMPlaylistDoc>
When executing a playlist, ArtistaMEDIA starts at the first entry. After playback of this media file has
been finished it automatically jumps to the next entry and plays it. When the end of the playlist is
reached, the board starts from the beginning again. The playlist is played back in an endless loop
until a new playlist is available.
