Example Playlists
i,1PL,6LP,37PL,415PL,5PL,60PL,<
The list can be arranged all on the same line, as shown above, or vertically as shown
below.
I
1PL ;You can comment your Playlist file by using
6LP ;semicolons. All text after a semicolon is
37PL ;ignored until the end of the line where a
;carriage return is encountered.
5PL
<
The first command in the playist is the “I” command. This character places the Digital
Video Machine into “interruptible” mode, which means that the unit will respond to
discrete Select inputs and serial play commands by jumping immediately to the next
command in the list. The unit remains in interruptible mode unless a “U” character is
encountered.
The next command, which is “1PL”, causes the DVM to play video #1. If the user
issues a Play command during the playback of video #1, it will be interrupted and the
playlist will move on to the next command. If a Play command is not received, the
DVM will not advance to the next playlist command until video #1 has played to
completion.
When video #1 has finished playing, the “6LP” command is executed. This command
causes the DVM to loop video #6 continuously. This file will continue looping
indefinitely until the user issues a Play command or activates the Play input.
If advanced by the user, video #37 plays followed by video #5. Once video #5
finishes, the “<” character causes the playlist to loop back to the beginning. This
means that video #1 will start playing once again.
