Adding Content to the Library

  • Right click in the right pane of the content library window to bring up the popup menu with the option Add.
  • Slide the cursor to the right until you see the second popup menu showing additional options.
  • Select the type of content you wish to add.

The options are:

  • Media: Select a compatible media file (audio file, image, video, flash swf, zip archive* (HTML, HTML5).
  • URL: Specify a web page URL (HTML, HTML5).
  • Template: Opens the Template Designer.
  • Video Stream: Specify a video stream URL.
  • TV Feed: Select a live TV channel**.

*Note about compressed HTML files: InfoVue lets users send web pages (including all required assets such as images, xml, etc) to each player so the data is stored locally. HTML and HTML5 are both supported. Storing this data locally means the content will continue to play even if the player loses its connection to the internet. To use this feature, compress (zip) all of the files required to display the web page and then upload the zip file as media. InfoVue server will unzip the contents and send the files to each player when required.
**Note about Live TV: This type of content is compatible with Windows PCs and requires a TV Tuner to be installed on each player where live TV is to be shown. A Hauppauge branded TV Tuner and the Hauppauge WIN-TV software is required for this feature. No other TV Tuner brand is currently supported. Android and SOC are not supported for live TV playback.
