4.2 Updating Media Content & Playlists
There are two methods you can use to update the player’s media content and configuration file. You can do it remotely through an
Internet connection (i.e., remote content management) or locally using a USB flash drive.
Updating via USB Flash Drive
You can update a single player or multiple players using a single USB flash drive. If you are updating multiple players, one or more
‘target’ folders may be created on the USB flash drive to help simplify the process (see next page for example folder structure):
—
MAC Folders: Create an individual folder for each player using the last six digits of the player’s MAC address as the folder
name. Place the updated content and the config_xml file specific to each player in its MAC/mti_data folder.
— Terminal ID (TID) Folders: If all players are assigned a Terminal ID using the same format (see page 13), you can create fold-
ers named with full or partial TIDs to direct the content to specific players or groups of players. For example, if players are all
named with a unique number (e.g., mti01, mti02, etc.), you can create a single folder path named mti#/mti_data to direct
content in that folder to all players (the ‘#’ at the end of a folder name is wildcard for any character). If you create a folder
mti$1, then it directs content only to players mti01, mti11, mti21, etc. In this case, the ‘$’ is used as a wildcard for any single
character in the TID.
— Default Folder: If the player’s MAC address or Terminal ID does not match any of the above folders, the player will look for a
mti_data folder in the root of the USB flash drive as a default.
—
Common Content Folder: This is an optional folder, containing content that is common to the playlists in multiple MAC, TID,
or default folders. Common content is placed in the common/mti_data folder. This avoids needing to duplicate media files in
multiple folders on the USB flash drive.
Once you have created your desired folders and copied the new content into these folders, use the following steps to update the
player(s):
1
Create and name a sync.xml file with the following attributes:
< M504Sync >
< SYNCData Incremental= ” true ” FollowConfigXml= ” true ” />
</ M504Sync >
2
Copy this sync file into each of the mti_data folders. Note that each mti_data folder may contain a different sync.xml file.
Important!
It is best to use a dedicated USB flash drive for the updating media content, not the same flash drive used to
download log files.
If you set to true , it copies all the new media content and does not delete any existing (old) files.
If you set to false , it copies all the new media content and any old media files not listed in the
mti_config.xml file are deleted.
If you set to true , only media files specified in the new mti_config.xml file are
copied from the flash drive to the memory card.
If you set to
false
, all media files in both the target/mti_data folder and the
common/mti_data folder are copied to the player, even if they are not specified in
the mti_config.xml file.
