Supported Format Notes
HTML The player displays HTML using the WebKit browser engine for Linux.
(The Apple Safari and Google Chrome browsers also use the WebKit
engine.) WebKit supports web pages including JavaScript and Adobe
Flash but not ActiveX.
To display a web page, the player must have live access to it at the time.
If the web page requires a username and password to log in, include
those in the URL in the format:
protocol://username:password@site .
Adding External Web Pages to a Playlist:
To add an external web page to a playlist, follow these steps:
1. Open the web page you want to link to and copy its whole URL address. (You can also sometimes use the URL to link to a
specific frame or image to display.)
2. On the iCC menu bar, click Playlists and select the zone in the layout you want to add the page to.
3. Select the Specials tab.
4. Paste the web site URL into the External Web Page field.
5. Click the button.
6. In the playlist, you can drag the icon to adjust the item's position or click its button to modify its properties.
Notes :
o
HTML pages always have a white, non-transparent background.
o
Auto-refresh web pages direct the player browser to reload the page at regular intervals. Add auto-refresh pages to a
playlist with an indefinite duration to be sure that they always show the latest information. Determine whether a page
auto-refreshes by searching for the
<meta http-equiv=refresh>
tag in its HTML code:
o
To keep non-auto-refresh pages current, you need to reload them periodically. To do so, add the pages to a playlist with
a fixed duration, as this forces the player to reload the page.
Saving Web Pages to Disk and Adding to a Playlist:
As an alternative to displaying a web page directly from an external source, you can save it on the iCC. This removes the
connection to the source and your files will not be updated if the source changes.
To save the HTML files, use your browser's Save function. For example, with Internet Explorer, follow these steps:
1. From the File menu select Save as .
2. Navigate to the location where you want to save the files.
3. From the Save as type drop-down list, select Web page, complete . This saves the page as well as all its associated files
(such as images). Internet Explorer saves the associated files in a folder called
pagename_files
, where
pagename
is
the name of the HTML page.
When you have saved the HTML page and its files, add to a playlist by following these steps:
1. Upload the HTML page file and the
_files
folder with all its files onto the iCC. If you need to include other files (for
example, a JavaScript file implementing additional features) add them to the
_files
folder. See Uploading Content Files
for how to upload files.
