Introduction and requirements of the player
The player is a down loadable application that reads files from an ftp site and then downloads the content to the local disc. The ftp player then loops through the files and play them one after the other. The player also shows a ticker on the screen that is read from RSS feeds on remote sites. The player will be able to play video files and static files with some functionality of transition between slides or video files. Auto start and stop time for certain days of the week. Update itself - retrieve files from the remote host at preset intervals.
- Activate - After install – set screen name with upload functionSet screen for more than one screen - #1, #2, #3, etcSet “screen enabled”Set “web service path”
- General - Edit screen, Start play, Update now, Save log, clear log. All other functions like RSS feeds, font size, colour, frequency of check will be done via Adverts Agent. All these settings will be checked by the player during synchronising or when checking for new adverts.
- Updating - To be set from Adverts Agent
- Playing - Only to set the local folder where files are stored. Rescan after each loop required.
- RSS feed - This seems to be jumping between slides. Can it be added as a layer on top of the adverts playing in the background so that it does not get affected by the change of frames or between adverts
