8.3 SERVER REQUIREMENTS
The ZvMXEs may be configured to fetch a channel list and supporting
elements.
The channel list file and others (icon files, etc) must be served by a web
server on a network accessible to the ZvMXE units.
That server (LAMP, WAMP, whatever…) should be configured to serve a
directory that contains the files that will be used to control the channel list
of the ZvMXE units.
If the Internet is accessible, a Google drive could even be used. The ZvMXE
units only fetch the channel guide files at power-up or upon direct request
by the user. At all other times the ZvMXE units use locally cached copies of
the channel guide information.
Easy Test:
Point a
browser at the directory
that will be used and
make sure the supporting
information is visible while
on the same network as
the ZvMXE units.
In the case shown, the
server QA20 is serving a
directory called “ipsettop”
to the same network as the
ZvMXE.
If a browser can see the
files, the ZvMXE units will
be able to see the files.
All file accesses by the
ZvMXE device are via HTTP
file requests.
8.4 SETUP ON ZVMXE FOR REMOTE GUIDE
To configure the ZvMXE to use a remotely specified guide, the device itself
must be configured to point to the location from where the guide file(s) are
being served.

That brings up the Main option screen.
Then navigate over to the Setup icon (the GEARS)
and click there.
