Could the player display Flash or Microsoft PowerPoint presentations? 

The player features limited PowerPoint support, but not Flash support.  

While PCs can play many formats with varying degrees of success, RISC-based media players are designed to 
reliably play specific video formats (Please see spec for details). While Microsoft PowerPoint native files could not 
play directly on a RISC-based player, the file is converted through other software (i.e. Adfotain Manager Express) 
into an image format to be played as an image slideshow.  

How do I manage the playback of contents? 

The media appliance is designed to be interoperable with leading 3

rd

 party management software solutions or via 

SMIL open standard commands. 

Why won’t some media files play properly? 

The video data bit-rate used may have exceeded the recommended bit rate.  

The video data bit-rate is the amount of video or audio data used per second to store or play the contents, 
usually expressed in Mbps (mega-bits per second). Video encoded with excessive bit-rates will not playback 
smoothly in the media player, likely due to storage i/o bottleneck.

 for compatible media format presets. 

The media playback looks different on a PC compared to the media player’s screen. (Wrong aspect 

ratio) 

There are 2 major aspect ratios (width-to-height ratios) for video content, but many kinds of displays. If you play 
4:3 video on a 16:9 display (or vice versa), a circle becomes oval, and the picture takes on a squeezed or 
stretched look. To avoid this distorted look, adding black bars are a common technique.  

The Network Media Player can be configured to automatically add black bars for certain types of displays. You 
can set the output resolution in XMP-3450’s configuration menu to match the 

native resolution

 of your display. 

Some JPEG images cannot be played in the media player. 

Progressive JPEG are not supported. Please convert to baseline JPEG for maximum compatibility. 

JPEG images can be either of 2 types: baseline or progressive compression. Baseline JPEG offers greatest 
compatibility, 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 (

http://www.irfanview.com/

 ). 

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.
