 Now Playing Screen

10.1 Now Playing Idle

If you have played any music using the 
Server you will have noticed the NOW 
PLAYING screen. If there is no handset 
activity for 60 seconds the video display 
automatically switches to the NOW 
PLAYING screen. Shown below are the 
two types of NOW PLAYING screen 
available on the Server.

The split NOW PLAYING screen shows 
the status of all three audio outputs in one 
display. The TRACK, ALBUM and ARTIST 
information is shown along with elapsed 
time and album art*.  

The single NOW PLAYING screen shows 
the same information as the split one but 
with the addition of media source, play 
mode, genre and larger album art*.

10.2 Switching between 

Screens

You can force the Server to show the 
NOW PLAYING screen by pressing the 
INFO button or the OUTPUT SOURCE 
button corresponding to the output in 
which the track or station is playing. Each 
press of either of these buttons will toggle 
the Server between the split and single 
NOW PLAYING screen.

You cannot view the NOW PLAYING 
screen if there is nothing playing in the 
source output which you are controlling.

* Album art is only available if the album 
folder contains folder.jpg (see Section 
11.3).
