CopyLocal

The CopyLocal property is a unique feature to copy your files over your existing iPoint port connection. Instead of using server shares, you can easily stream or copy your content over a TCPIP port without creating or using network shares on the player.

  • True - The player will not use network shares but get its files from the server. These files are copied locally on the player and then started.
  • False - With this value set the player will use the files from the exact location as specified in the playlist. E.g. a file M:\My presentations\Welcome.ppt will be started from the network. The player needs to have access to this server location and also the player needs to have a mapped drive M pointing to the correct location on the file server.

You have less configuration work (setting up the network shares) on all players when you use the CopyLocal function.

 

FolderFiles

With Selection set to Folders (to select folders in the playlist) you can choose to play all files of a folder or the last modified file.

  • AllOfThisFolder - Plays all files from the folder specified. Files from subfolders are not included.
  • AllIncludingSubFolders - Plays all files from a folder and its subfolders.
  • LastModified - Only plays the last modified file from a folder. This option is interesting when you want to use a given folder as a dropzone for multimedia files where you copy files into.

 

Randomize

It will randomize the sequence of playlist items every time a playlist is started or restarted (skipping from last item to first item again).

 

Selection

Choose Folders or Files to specify what type of items are listed in the playlist items list.

  • Folders - The items in the playlist is 1 or a list of folders where the images or presentations are taken from. The player will play all or the last modified file from the folders. Also see FolderFiles property.
  • Files - The playlist items contains individual files only.
