Adding More Video Content to the Playlist
Running only one selection of video content may not always be what you want to
do. The Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player is capable of playing several pieces
of video content. Here’s how to add more than one le to the playlist:
1. Safely eject and remove the USB drive from the Media Player, then plus the
USB drive into an available USB port on your computer.
2. Open theplaylist.gpl le, located in the /playlist directory.
3. Create an additional <media> tag below the rst set of <media> tags, and
specify the next piece of video content:
<media>
<FileName>/media/my_movie.mp4</FileName>
</media>

<media>
<FileName>/media/movie2.mp4</FileName>
</media>
4. Save the playlist.gpl le to the /playlists directory.
Changing the Playlist Order
When the playlist.gpl le is read by the Hi-Def Digital Signage Media
Player, the le is read from top to bottom. So, in the example above,
movie2.mp4 will be played after my_movie.mp4. If you want to play
movie2.mp4 before my_movie.mp4, edit the playlist.gpl le so it
appears like this:
<media>
<FileName>/media/movie2.mp4</FileName>
</media>

<media>
<FileName>/media/my_movie.mp4</FileName>
</media>
STAND-ALONE MODE
NOTE: Always create a separate <media> tag for each media le to
be played. Only one media le can be specied within the <media>
and </media> tags.
