Creating and using playlists
Verifying the contents of a playlist
When a playlist is opened in Xbuilder, you can run a verification of all of the items in the
playlist to be certain that they have been published and are available on specific or all
devices configured in Xbuilder’s Device Manager.
When a playlist verification is executed, each element in the playlist is verified as follows:
•
Checks if the assets used by the playlist element actually exist.
• Checks if the assets that are used by the playlist element require the completion of a
Work Order before they can be used.
• Checks if the assets used by the playlist element are published on a specified device.
If not, then it initiates the publishing of the assets.
There are two (2) ways in which you can perform a playlist verification: manual or
automatic.
1.
Open Xbuilder’s G ENERAL settings page (T OOLS >S ETTINGS >G ENERAL ) and choose a
value for the V ERIFY P LAYLIST setting:
• Choose A UTOMATIC if you want Xbuilder to automatically run a verification
each time a playlist is opened in Xbuilder’s Playlist Editor.
• Choose M ANUAL if you do not want playlists to automatically be verified each
time they are opened in Xbuilder’s Playlist Editor.

Regardless of whether you choose Automatic or Manual, you can manually execute a playlist
verification at any time using the V
ERIFY P LAYLIST button in the Playlist Editor’s toolbar.
2. In the N UMBER OF V ERIFY D EVICES field on the G ENERAL settings page, specify the total
number of devices that you would like to set up in the Device Manager for the purposes
of verifying playlist contents.
3. Click OK to close the Settings dialog box.
4. Open Xbuilder’s Device Manager (T OOLS >D EVICE M ANAGER ) and following the
instructions on page 2-9 for adding and configuring devices for playlist verification.
5. Select from the D EVICE FOR V ERIFY drop-down list, select the device(s) that you what
to verify when the Verify Playlist task is executed. In the case where the playlist items
already have a device assignment associated with them, you can select the U
SE
P LAYLIST D EVICES option, otherwise choose a specific device.
6. If Xbuilder’s V ERIFY P LAYLIST setting was set to A UTOMATIC , opening an existing playlist
in Xbuilder results in an immediately playlist verification.
If Xbuilder’s V
ERIFY P LAYLIST setting was set to M ANUAL , the playlist is not verified upon
opening. However, in either case, you can execute a playlist verification at any time by
clicking the V
ERIFY P LAYLIST button in the Playlist Editor’s toolbar.
The results of the playlist verification are reported directly in the playlist by highlighting
erroneous items in red, as well as reporting problems in the item’s S
TATUS column.
