Icon Description

Playback status

The playlist element is being played.

The playlist element is cued and is the next element that will be
played.

The playback has been paused on this playlist element.

Availability status (on an EVS server)

The playlist element is available locally on the EVS server
where the playlist is stored.

The playlist element is available on another EVS server of the
XNet network.

The playlist element is not available on an EVS server. It only
exists as a file stored on a nearline folder, or as a virtual
element.

You need to restore the playlist element of type ‘file’ to be able

to play it out on a player channel. You can however play it on
the Software Player. However, the ‘PLAYING’ status will not be
applied to the missing elements.
