12. Loading and Playing
Media from the
Database Explorer
There are various ways to load or to load and play a media on a player channel
from the Database Explorer.
The Browse and Play modes help to perform those actions from a single-click.
They are available from Browse, Play and Auto-Play buttons located on the
toolbar:
To be able to use these modes and automatically play an element or a list of
elements from the Database Explorer, a player channel must previously be
assigned to the Database Explorer.
12.1 HOW TO ASSIGN A PLAYER CHANNEL
TO THE DATABASE EXPLORER
To assign a player channel to the Database Explorer, you have two options:
12.1.1 FROM THE CHANNEL EXPLORER
1. Open the Channel Explorer and the Database Explorer.
2. In the Channel Explorer, select the player channel to assign to the Database
Explorer.
3. Drag the selected player channel to the Database Explorer window and drop
anywhere.
The player channel is displayed in this field.
All actions requesting an association to a player channel, for example the Browse,
Play and Auto-Play functions, will be performed on the assigned player.
