Dynamic Playlists allow you to easily update and share content across multiple presentations. For example, if you have daily announcements that need to be published to all of your networked players, you can update a single Dynamic Playlist rather than having to update every different presentation on your network. When you add content to a Dynamic Playlist via the WebUI, every presentation that includes the Dynamic Playlist receives this new content. This means that a single update can reach multiple presentations.
Click the Create tab. The Dynamic Playlist subgroup will already be selected.
Click the Add New Dynamic Playlist button.
Enter a Name for the new Dynamic Playlist.
Determine whether you want to create an Image/Video Dynamic Playlist or an Audio Dynamic Playlist, then click Create.
Click the Edit Title button if you would like to rename the Dynamic Playlist at any time.
Drag the desired images/video files or audio files from the Library and drop them into the playlist field.
Edit the ordering of the playlist by dragging a thumbnail to a desired position or by entering the position number of a media item in the Position field and clicking Set.
Change the time on screen of an image file by entering the value (in seconds) in the Duration field.
Assign a validity date to the selected video, image, or audio file by clicking the purple button. If the Enable Validity Date box is checked, the media file will only be included in the Dynamic Playlist between the specified Start Date and End Date. A Dynamic Playlist item with a validity date will have a graphic in the top left to indicate its current status.
The yellow pause button indicates that the item is not currently included in the Dynamic Playlist because the validity Start Date begins in the future.
The green play button indicates that the item is currently included in the Dynamic Playlist.
The red stop button indicates that the item is not currently included in the Dynamic Playlist because the validity End Date has passed.
Click the Save button to save the Dynamic Playlist, or click the Save Playlist As... button to create a duplicate copy of the Dynamic Playlist.
