nocache
Applicable only to non-local Media-URLs, if you specify this option, the DF-1710 will attempt to
download a fresh copy of the specified file each time this line of the scriptfile is reached. If the network
or server is temporarily unavailable, the cached copy will be used. This option is used to ensure that
the latest version of a dynamic content item is always being displayed. A typical example of this type of
content is a satellite photograph on a weather-related Web site.
Example:
http://www.site.com/weather.jpg,nocache
nointerrupt
Applicable only to MP3 playlists. If this option is specified, and there is already an MP3 playing when
this line is encountered again (when the script loops), the item currently playing will not be
interrupted. See “Playing Sounds on the DF-1710”, below, for more detailed information on the use of
this parameter.
Example:
myplaylist.lst,nointerrupt
nosound
Applicable only to MPEG video playback; the specified video will be played back without its soundtrack.
Example:
movie.mpg,nosound
Note: If nosound is specified (and “killsound” is not), background music MP3s will continue to play
throughout the MPEG movie.
pause=
x
Specifies the time in seconds to pause before displaying the next item, from 0 to 2,147,483,648
(invalid values of x, such as “nothing”, are interpreted as 0). This pause time is measured starting from
the moment Digi-Frame begins to process the media item itself. For instance, this means that if you
specify a pause of 10 seconds and it takes Digi-Frame 5 seconds to download and display the image,
the image will only be onscreen for 5 seconds before Digi-Frame proceeds to the next line of the
scriptfile. The pause timing commences at the completion of any transition effects that are applied.
Pause timing is approximate and will be longer if MP3 playback is operating.
Example:
picture1.jpg,pause=20
Note: The pause value is ignored for MPEG movies and, MP3 playlists, and MP3 audio files. The DF-
1710 will load the next item in the scriptfile immediately after the movie finishes. In the case of MP3
music, the DF-1710 will start playing the music and immediately proceed with the next item in the
scriptfile.
The pause time
does
apply to Macromedia Flash® animations. Since Flash animations either loop
indefinitely or wait for user input upon completion, the DF-1710 is designed to abort Flash playback at
the end of the pause time and proceed to the next item in the script file. You should specify a pause
time for each Flash animation that is long enough to allow the animation to play fully. If your
animation does not loop and the pause time is longer than the playing time of the animation, the final
frame of the animation will be displayed statically until the pause time has finished.
Note: The global default pause time can be set with the on-screen menu system. If you wish to be
able to control the pause time for all still images in your slideshow using the menu system, do not
specify any pause times in your script, because they would take precedence over the default.
rotate=[0, 90, 180 or 270]
Specifies the rotation angle for JPEG images (in degrees, clockwise). The default is 0.
