9.2.8 Player Local Information

Use the Player Local Information page to add, delete, or modify data items for customizing player behavior. Examples
include the following features:
Conditional play – Add data that the player checks to determine which playlist items or schedules to play.
l
Localize HTML pages – Add data that the player uses to localize output from web pages.
l
Configure a weather widget – Specify the current location to customize a weather widget display.
l
These examples further expand and illustrate how you might use player local information:
Design general channel content that also allows each player to play specific content. For example, if your company has
l
branches in different countries, you could use player local information to specify each location in ISO format. A weather
widget you install checks that value and provides a localized weather forecast.
Design general channel content but that uses conditional play to control the media and schedule for individual player units.
l
For example, you could create the same channel content for all branches of a chain store but use player local information to
control conditional play items in that content. You could play content in each store based on the profile of customers visiting
that store (using conditional play for playlist items). You might also display specific opening hours for a store (using
conditional play for one or more schedules).
When you enable reporting, the player includes player local information in its reports to the iDM and you can use this for
l
whatever purpose you wish. For example, you could use player local information for asset tracking purposes by storing the
player's address and asset tracking identifier. If there is a problem, it is easy to determine the location of the player based
on iDM reports.
