Viewing the Settings.xml File

Finally, we’re going to take a quick look at the

settings.xml

file. The

settings.xml

file contains all the information on how the Hi-Def Digital

Signage Media Player operates. Within the

settings.xml

file, the active

schedule must be specified:

1. Open the

settings.xml file, located in the root directory of the USB drive.

2. Locate the

and tags, near the bottom portion

of the file:

3. Make sure that the

tag contains the

following information:

Double-quotes must surround the full path to the schedule file.

4. Close the

settings.xml file.

Checking our Work

Before inserting the USB drive into the USB port of the Hi-Def Digital Signage

Media Player, let’s check to make sure everything is in order:

1. The

settings.xml file should be in the root directory of the USB drive and

should reference the active schedule file (

schedule.gsh).

2. The

schedule.gsh file should be in the /schedules directory. The

schedule file should reference the

playlist.gpl file.

3. The

playlist.gpl file should be located in the /playlist directory. The

playlist file should reference the media file you are going to play.

In our example, we used

my_movie1.mp4.

4. The media file (

my_movie1.mp4) specified in the playlist.gpl file

should be placed in the

/media directory.
