3.4.8 Folder Play Properties

The iCOMPEL displays folder play properties on the Media tab. Besides the folder play properties, this contains properties

You can customize how long the iCOMPEL plays movie, HTML, and SWF (Adobe Flash) files. Specify the length of play by
adding the string

The following specific properties apply to folders in a playlist:
Media Check the box to enable the relevant media player for the zone.
Management Check the Management box to enable ad hoc management of this folder.
If the ad hoc user places files in the indicated ad hoc media folder, the iCOMPEL plays them instead of those
in the current folder. If there are no suitable files in the ad hoc media folder, the iCOMPEL plays the files in the
current folder.
If this iCOMPEL is a subscriber, a channel update does not remove the ad hoc files. This means that even a
subscriber iCOMPEL can use local content.
