Playlist operation
6.1 Introduction to playlist mode operation
When the flash memory is introduced, Panelplayer analyses its content on the base of the
presence of the relevant files, and automatically sets the following operation mode:
1.
FILE PLAYLIST:TXT: audio player with pieces in sequence according to the list
present in the files.
2.
FILE 1.M3U, 2.M3U, 3.M3U, 4.M3U, 5.M3U, 6.M3U, 7.M3U: audio player of the
sequence contained in the files depending on the logical input activated:
1.m3u = IN 1
5.m3u = IN 5
During play the four command buttons REW, STOP, PLAY and FWD are activated.
6.2 What is a playlist file?
Panelplayer is able to follow a sequence or list of music pieces; this play list is a simple
text file called playlist.txt which can be inserted in the main directory of the same memory
containing the audio files (this extension is used so it can be modified via a handy
PocketPC portable terminal).
Follow a few, easy rules to set the sequence:
Example
1
with
3
numbers:
7
9
5
01
005
Fit the memory into its seat and wait for Panelplayer to read the playlist in order to check
the list of pieces contained.
At the end of the reading operation, if the names of the pieces have been fitted in correctly,
Panelplayer will automatically start to play the musical items in the programmed sequence
or it will await the activation of a logical input.
6.3 Playlist activation by logical inputs - MPLL (Mode PLayList) parameter
The seven available playlists, activated by the logical inputs, can be played with different
modes, depending upon the varying needs.
To choose these different manners of operation, you must work directly on the configuration
parameter MPLL (Mode PLayList) inserted in the file config.txt.
When the flash memory is put in, Panelplayer, depending on the configuration of the
parameter MPLL in the file config.txt, will switch over to the relevant manner of operation.
