Lists
The Lists panel features an editable channel list for use with the optional IR remote control
(see IR Remote Control on page56), a drag and drop favorites list for convenient
access of frequently played files, and the playback history. By default the player page opens
with the Lists panel expanded to the right of the browser.
NOTE: M3U, M3U8, and PLS playlist formats do not support Playlist Title or Playlist
Creator metadata. Text entered in those fields is not retained. If that information is
required for your application, use .jspf or .xspf playlist format.
The Lists panel has three tabs: Channels, Favorites and History (see figure 19).
Lists Panel – Channels tab
Figure 19. Lists Panel, Channels Tab
The Channels tab displays a list of current populated channels. Up to 99 channels are
individually defined by associating a stream, a file, or a playlist with a channel number and
(optionally) defining a logical name for the channel.
Fields below the channel list show the currently selected channel number, channel name,
and channel Universal Resource Identifier (URI). To assign a stream, file, or playlist to a
channel, select and drag an item from the browser Files or Streams panel to the desired
channel number. The channel name and URI are edited directly or new information is pasted
from the clipboard of the host computer. The ellipses to the right opens a dialog box to read
or modify longer paths or filenames.
To play a channel, select and drag an item from the Channels panel to the Player
Controls panel or select a channel and click Load. To mirror typical IR remote control
operation, the channel begins playing immediately regardless of the Load Play setting (see
Load Play on page17).
NOTE: Standard Windows keyboard shortcuts can be used to copy <CTL+C> and
paste <CTL+V> the stream, file, or playlist to a channel number, or to copy a channel
to the player.
The optional handheld IR remote control accesses this channel list to provide wireless
program selection (see IR Remote Control on page56).
