Load Playlist/Schedule (LD)
Loads a playlist/schedule.
Syntax
“<filename>”LD<CR>
Response
R<CR>
Remarks
❏
This command is used to load a new playlist/schedule.
When this command is received a check is done to be sure
the specified filename actually exists on the media player
hard drive. If it does not exist, then the error code E12 is
returned and playback continues uninterrupted with the
previous playlist/schedule.
❏
If the specified playlist/schedule is found on the hard disk,
then playback of the previous playlist/schedule is halted and
the new playlist/schedule is loaded.
❏
If Auto Play is enabled, the Mantis automatically begins
playing the most recently loaded playlist/schedule. In this
case the new playlist/schedule is loaded via LD. However,
if “Auto Play” is disabled, playback will NOT
automatically start; playback of the playlist/schedule must
be started with the play (PL) command or go to
WebView >
Player Control
and click on the
Play
button of the
appropriate channel.
