STAND-ALONE MODE

Viewing the Schedule File

1. Open the

schedule.gsh file, located in the /schedules directory. Any

plain text editor can be used (such as Windows® Notepad, etc).

2. Locate the

<DefaultEvent> tag at the top of the file.

The

<DefaultEvent> and </DefaultEvent> tags must be present in

the

schedule.gsh file. At minimum, the four tags between the

<DefaultEvent> tags must also be present:

<DefaultEvent>

<DayOfWeek>.........</DayOfWeek>

<EventStart>........</EventStart>

<EventEnd>..........</EventEnd>

<FileName>..........</FileName>

</DefaultEvent>

3. The first thing we want to do is make sure that the playlist is executed on

every day of the week. So, the

<DayOfWeek> tag should contain the

following information:

<DayOfWeek>1,1,1,1,1,1,1</DayOfWeek>

The number one (“1”) means that the playlist will be executed on each day.

Each day of the week is represented between the

<DayOfWeek> opening

and

</DayOfWeek> closing tags (e.g. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.).

Use the number zero (“0”) to skip certain days. For example, if you wanted

the playlist to be executed every day except on the weekends (Saturday and

Sunday), you would type:

<DayOfWeek>1,1,1,1,1,0,0</DayOfWeek>

4. Next, we want the playlist to be executed between the hours of 00:00:00

(12:00:00 midnight) and 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm). This will

ensure that the video content is played constantly without interruption.

Therefore,

<EventStart> and <EventEnd> tags should appear like this:

<EventStart>00:00:00</EventStart>

<EventEnd>11:59:59</EventEnd>

IMPORTANT: Do not use a word processing program to edit the

Schedule file, as this may introduce unwanted invisible control

characters into the file.
