Playing out rundowns using Xplay
Configuring Xplay’s update and reload settings
The A UTO RELOAD PLAYLIST and P LAYLIST UPDATE INTERVAL settings work together to determine
when and how frequently Xplay will take the initiative to reload the rundown. See “Updating and
reloading a rundown in Xplay” on page 11-5 for an overview discussion of this topic.
To configure Xplay’s playlist reload and update settings:
1.
In Xplay, select T OOLS >S ETTINGS >P LAYOUT .
The S ETTINGS window appears and displays the P LAYOUT settings.

2. Set the P LAYLIST UPDATE INTERVAL setting.
Enter a number to represent the number of seconds between each time (continuous)
that Xplay checks to see if the current playlist has changed in the Xmedia Server.
Entering 0 means that Xplay will never check for updated versions. The action taken
when a playlist has changed is determined by the A
UTO RELOAD PLAYLISTS setting.
3. Set the A UTO RELOAD PLAYLISTS setting.
Selecting the check box means that when an updated version of the currently active
playlist is found, it will automatically be loaded. When the check box is deselected, the
R
ELOAD P LAYLIST button will turn orange to alert the user to the new version so they
can reload it manually.
4. click OK to close the S ETTINGS window.
Manually reloading a rundown in Xplay
When the P LAYLIST UPDATE INTERVAL setting has not been activated (see “Configuring
Xplay’s update and reload settings” ), Xplay will not check the Xmedia Server for updates to
its currently opened rundown. For any changes that were made to the rundown to take
effect, the rundown must be manually reloaded in Xplay using the R
ELOAD P LAYLIST button
in the Playlist window’s toolbar.
