Note:
Value of configuration variable
QUICK_PLAY
determines the behaviour of FTP MP3
Player upon boot. If QUICK_PLAY is set to 0 (default if not explicitly set in the player.cfg file),
FTP MP3 Player tries to refresh the configuration and the music before starting the actual
playback. This can be used to prevent playing obsolete messages/music. When set to 1, the
player first evaluates the current playlists, starts playing, and then tries to refresh the
configuration as specified in the current
player.cfg
file.

Device monitoring using the BARIMON server
In addition to the built in syslog capability, the FTP_MP3 SW can send information
about the current activity of the device to a BARIMON server. The reports to the
BARIMON server are done at preconfigured BARIMON_INTERVAL, or at playback
status change (change of the active playlist or the current song).
The following information is sent to the BARIMON server:
•
The name of the active playlist;
•
The name of the music file that is curently being played;
•
The current volume;
•
The total number of files available in the PLAYER directory on the USB stick;
•
The total filesize of all files in the PLAYER directory;
•
The number of missing (not downloaded) playlists;
•
The number of missing (not downloaded) music files;
•
The total number of music updates since the device start;
•
System up time in seconds;
•
Device HTTP Host name.
To activate the BARIMON reports you need to configure the right BARIMON_SERVER,
BARIMON_PORT, BARIMON_INTERVAL and BARIMON_TIMEOUT parameters in the
player.cfg file (see chapter 3.5 Using more playlists wor more details)
