X-App Manager Technical Specification
1.0 Overview
The X-App Manager is a base software component of the MP7XX series players.
The X-App Manager provides a number of functions that are an extension or
an enhancement of the player's SNMP command functions. These functions
include the following:
• Auto-starting of playback
• Scheduling of playback
• GPIO support (buttons/kiosk mode) (Not Applicable on the MP70)
• Scripting for custom operations
• Loading/Unloading of custom applications (X-App)
• Loading/Unloading for legacy X-Apps (TNET X-Apps)
• Player configuration
These functions are mostly commanded from an external memory device (SD
card or USB flash drive). Additionally, the X-App Manager provides a network-
based interface for performing some general purpose functions and facilitating
the loading and unloading of player applications (X-Apps).

memory device. The playback starts when the player first powers up or when
the external memory device is inserted.
Note: Browser file types (html) may include a
video zone where a video playlist can
optionally be played.
2.2. Scheduling of playback
Playback can be scheduled based on calendar dates, times, and week days.
Video playlists can be scheduled. Also Html files (layouts) can be scheduled.
The scheduled data is placed in an XML file on the external memory device.
The file format is the same as specified by the CE Labs Content Manager API.

On players equipped with GPIO, video or browser files can be assigned to
play when a button connected to the GPIO is pressed.
