Copy Media and Playlists to Removable Disk
If your players are not connected to a network or access to the FTP server is not available, you can transfer the media and playlists from the manager to the players by means of a removable disk or CD/DVD.
Please Note: The players must be configured as per the section Setup Player. Though this is an offline network you still need to enter a matching ‘IP Address or Domain Name’ in the Manager and Player Setup. It does not necessarily need to be a valid IP Address. Typically it could be entries such as ‘Player1’, ‘Player2’ etc.
Select the client/group you want to update and connect a removable disk to the PC.
Select the client name in the tree and then open the Tools menu and select ‘Copy Media and Playlists to Removable Disk’. Enter the drive letter of the removable disk and click ‘OK’.
After the media and playlists have been copied a confirmation will be displayed.
Disconnect the removable disk and connect it to a player PC. On the player PC, exit the player application by pressing the Escape key.
Then select ‘Start/Programs/ Isenzo Mediacaster/Setup/Copy Media and Playlists from Removable Disk to Player’. You will be prompted for the drive letter as before.
The update process can be automated by writing the data to a CD/DVD and creating an auto updating disk that will automatically stop the player, update the media and playlists, restart the player and eject the CD/DVD. This is particularly helpful if the player PC does not have a keyboard or mouse.
