How Does the Tablet Play?
The following describes the various options for displaying videos, pictures and
applications (Android apk) on the Retail Tablet.
Default AutoPlay – Folder 0
The Retail Tablet disk drive contains a Root folder that can contain sub-folders. By
default, the tablet plays the content of a folder named 0. This folder is located in
the Root folder.
•
If Folder 0 contains multiple content files, then each is played one after the other
•
in the order in which they were added to the Retail Tablet.
•
Video files are played one after another.
Image files are each displayed for three seconds.
Applications continue running until there has been no user interaction for over
three minutes (and the tablet is in Standby mode) or if you exit the application by
quickly pressing the On/Off (Back) button. If you place an application in Folder 0,
then it should be the only file in that folder.
