7 Playlist Upload
VideoPoster-IV supports three upload procedures: via USB, direct content upload with the ACC software and
by polling of remote FTP servers. Please check the playlist type and display resolution prior to uploading to the
device. If they don’t match the playlist will be refused, and the old one will continue playing.
Detailed information about the supported media file formats can be found in section
7.1 USB Upload
To upload via USB insert a USB pen drive which has the show in the PlaylistContent directory contained in the
drive’s root, and the device will automatically detect and copy its content. It is safe to remove the flash drive
when the show starts playing. ACC can be used to create shows and export them to the USB drive.
7.2 ACC Push Upload
ACC must be used to upload content to VideoPoster-IV. In ACC you have to setup a network connection to
VideoPoster-IV device and commence upload (see ACC manual for details). The device will detect the upload
and if it contains a valid playlist, will automatically start playing it.
7.3 Polling of Remote FTP Server
This mode is turned off by default, so it must first be activated and correct settings for network connection to the
remote server must be provided (see
). Once this is done, the device will poll the
PlaylistContent folder on the remote server for playlist updates. You can use ACC to upload shows to FTP
server.
Normally, only the playlist.ddx file is checked for changes. If a particular item has to be checked for changes
the attribute “extern=true” has to be added to its <src> element (
). VideoPoster-IV will
additionally poll these items and update them even if the playlist remains unchanged.
