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 content, 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 there are 
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 the player’s configuration menu 
to match the 

native resolution

 of your display. 

 

 

Some JPEG images cannot be played in the media player. 

The media player works best with FHD (1920 x 1080) images. Playback of native images 
directly from the camera may result in an image being displayed incorrectly or not at all. 

 

 

Does the media player support video streaming? 

No. 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. 

 

 

 

The player is not playing. What should I do? 

Playlist errors and scheduling issues are two major causes of playback problems. To 
determine if the problem is caused by a bad playlist, delete the playlist and restart the 
player. The player should loop-through all media files, indicating a fault with the 
playlist.  

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. If nothing appears wrong, the time zone setting 
is often the reason the program is not played. 

 

 

The video is playing but I can’t hear any sound, what should I do? 

Check volume (mute) settings on monitor.
