Folder Playlists - Extron electronics SMD 101 User Manual

Folder Playlists

Folders containing multiple files are loaded as a Folder Playlist. This feature allows any
folder within the user file system (local, removable, and shared folders) to be treated as a
dynamic playlist. The files within the folder are played according to the configuration set by
the user (see Folder Playlist Configuration on page 64).
The Folder Playlist is dynamic, enabling a user to add and delete files from the folder
without the need to change the playlist. Files in the folder can be changed and the playlist
Playlist Editor
dynamically updates to include or exclude the files. Individual playlists (see
on page 41) can also be included with other files in a Folder Playlist.
A Folder Playlist is loaded the same as a single file (see
Browser Panel - Files on
page 32). The user can load a folder playlist by dragging and dropping the folder on the
Player Control Panel in the web interface as they would for any conventional source object
(video clips, still images, music files and playlists).
NOTE: The Folder Playlist feature ignores sub-folders. Only those files directly in the
playlist folder root are included.
It is also possible to load a single folder as a folder playlist by entering the path directly in the
Playlist field or including the path in the appropriate SIS command. For example, enter
/folder for local, /media/device/folder for removable, and /shares/name/folder for
network share folders.
