THE SETTINGS.XML FILE
The settings.xml is constructed as a typical XML file:
The beginning of the
settings.xml
file begins with an XML declaration :
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” ?>
The XML declaration is followed by a <settings> start-tag . The end of the file
contains a </settings> end-tag . All other tags and attributes are contained
within these two tags, creating the following structure:
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” ?>
<settings>
...
...
...
</settings>
An XML attribute is a markup containing both a name and a value, which can be
edited to change the behavior of the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player. When
modifying the settings.xml file, only the Attribute Value should be changed--
never change the Attribute Name. An example of a XML attribute would be:
<output value=”NTSC1080P” />
The Attribute Value must always be surrounded by double quotes. The beginning
of an XML Attribute must be prefixed with a less-than symbol (
<
) and must end
with a forward slash (
/
) followed by a greater-than symbol (
>
).
The next section provides a summary of each section of the settings.xml file
and the attributes.

WARNING: Do not modify the Attribute Name. Changing the
Attribute Name will result in errors or undesirable results.
