PLAYLISTS
This section describes the playlist files that can be used to play
audio and video files in a specific order. Create playlist files on a
computer by creating a plain txt file with a name such as such as:
“playlist1.txt”. Open the file and put the text in the same exact format
as the example here:
[Playlist]
NumberOfEntries=3
File1=nfl:\MUSIC\file1.mp3
File2=nfl:\MUSIC\Folder1\file2.mp3
File3=nfl:\MUSIC\file3.wav
1. Replace the folder/file names in the example above with the
actual folder/file names.
2. Ensure the files are in the location specified in the AV2 internal
memory or SD card.
3. Once finished editing the playlist, rename the txt file with a “pls”
extension, such as “playlist1.pls” and then put it into the MUSIC
folder on the AV2.
NOTES:
• For video files, replace “MUSIC” with “MOVIES” and put the
video files and playlist file into the MOVIES folder instead.
• Adjust the NumberOfEntries as appropriate to the correct
number of files.
• Continue to increment the X in FileX based on the number of
files in the playlist.
• For files located on an SD card, replace “nfl:\” with “mmc:\”.
