General Rules
• The slideshow will use plain ASCII XML syntax to allow the creation and editing of the slideshow files using simple tools.
• All references to network content must be based on the global address of the content.
• Content on a Portable Memory (PM) doesn't have a global address; as a result content from a PM can never be referenced from a slideshow
not stored on the PM itself.
• To maintain portability, a slideshow stored on a PM should ONLY reference content on the same PM. Referencing global addresses can
result in inconsistencies if the PM is used on a non-networked CE device. The latter is however not forbidden, it is only a recommendation.
• It is preferable that URL's referencing PM content are based on a relative path starting from the directory where the slideshow is stored.
This path includes the device or drive name of the PM.
An absolute path to content will also be supported.
- relative path: pictures\test1.jpg, tamper.jpg, ..\new\bird.jpg, ...
- absolute path: USB1:\pictures1\foo_bar.jpg, C:\f1.jpg, \organization.jpg, ...
