Title: how to work with Remote content ?
Post by: alex123 on April 23, 2014, 02:53:07 PM

Hi everyone,

Im a new user of magicinfo lite  :D

I have two samsung 42" magic info lite and one magicinfo lite server.

Do you guy know if there is any way to auto play all the content of a folder (FTP, CIFS)  on the displays ? And when i want to add or remove content on the displays, I just have to add or remove the content (jpg, psd) in the folder.

I tried to add remote content (FTP) in magic info and then create a playlist with only my remote content inside, but i cant see my remote content in the "add content windows"... only my local content.

If anyone could help me it would be great !

Thanks !
Alex.

"Remote" content from FTP or CIFS server is not supported with Lite player and can be used only with i-Player, thus you have add content to MI Lite Server.
PSD format is not supported either, only JPEG. I recommend using JPEG in LFD native resolution size (96 dpi).
