while progressive JPEGs are suitable for web site images. Progressive images are downloaded and displayed
“progressively,” being rendered more clearly as more data is received over the internet. Progressive images are
primarily supported on PCs. For media appliances, make sure to save images as baseline JPEG in your photo editor, or
resave them as baseline JPEGs using free tools such as IrfanView (

).
Does the media player support video streaming?
No. IAdea media players play files from local storage and do not support real-time video streaming over the network.
This delivers an optimum viewing experience free of playback quality issues such as stuttering, blocking, or blue-
screens.
However, XMP series players support dynamic content delivery to push individual files quickly over the network using
the SOAP API. This method is a compromise between live streaming with its high bandwidth demands and entire
playlist content updates which necessitate longer update cycles.
The media player is not playing. What should I do?
Check the player’s messages on the display (OSD, or on screen display) for status information.
Play list errors and scheduling issues are two major causes of playback problems. To determine if the problem is
caused by a bad play list, just delete the play list and restart player. The player should loop through all media files,
indicating a fault with the play list.
If the playback is scheduled to play at specific time, check to see if the device is set to the right time zone on the world
clock. When nothing seems wrong, the time zone setting is often the reason the program is not played.
