HOW THE HI-DEF DIGITAL SIGNAGE MEDIA PLAYER WORKS
Directory and File Nomenclature
The Hi-Def Digital Signage Media Player uses directories to organize
schedules, playlists, and media content. A major part of how the Media Player
behaves is governed by a set of three files:
• schedule.gsh
• playlist.gpl
• settings.xml
The local USB drive also contains three (3) directories:
• /media
• /playlists
• /schedules
The illustration below provides a summary of each of the three files, the location
of the file on the USB drive, and how they relate to one another.
The
/media directory is used to store your Digital Signage content.
An additional directory,
/Logs, is automatically created by the Media Player.
These log files provide a record of all events which have transpired and can be
used to provide information during troubleshooting.
