User manual

The most important issue to understand when using “Includes” is that certain portions of the

Settings.xml file are controlled by the interface, such as the Network Interface configuration,

the IP camera configuration and the Name and location settings. These portions of the

Settings.xml file cannot be in an Included XML file. The MediaPlayer application cannot

update included XML files.

Key XML Tags

<LocatioName> and <ScreenName> define the player variables displayed in the top right of

the GUI interface. They can be set using the interface and going to:

Buttons: Admin->System

It is important these items are set correctly as these are the descriptive names a support engineer

will use to find a system. For example, if you call a support engineer and say you are from a certain

site, he can quickly type in a search string to find your system based on these configuration options.

<Groups> is an option available to dCine owners who also have access to digitAll’s Virtual Private

Network. Through membership of a ‘group’ or ‘groups’ on the network, support engineers can

exercise virtual management over the dCines that belong to their business or network. The <Group>

option allows you to see whether or not you have membership of a group and, if so, which one (or

ones – a dCine can belong to multiple groups). Each group allows certain permissions of its

managers and conversely, bars others outside the group from accessing those machines. If you

require changes to your group settings, please contact the network manager. Attempted changes to

group settings by local users will be overwritten/reset by the network manager.
