Folders, Groups and Players Management

Whenever a signage player is registered to the WCM 6 Pro server, the player will be shown under the Player page. You can create folders and Player Groups to categorize the players registered to the server. To move Players and Player Groups among different folders or move players to other Groups, please use cut and paste function.

 

 

Preload –

Click , a dialogue window opens to select media files to preload to a desired player. You can preload files to players before publishing playlists; this saves time and bandwidth when transmitting the playlists.

 

Power Management –

Select a group or multiple groups to set Startup and Shut Down time for players in the groups. Please note that if the settings are made when players are abnormal, the Startup action won’t be executed because the abnormal players never receive the commands when they are idle/running.

 

Restart –

Restart all Edge Servers and Players assigned in the folder or group.

 

Power Off –

Shutdown all Players assigned in the folder or group.

 

WOL –

Remotely turn on all Players assigned in the folder or group.

 

Note

  1. When a player is registered to your WCM 6 Pro server without any specific group, it will be assigned to the Not Assigned group. You can move the player to a desired group manually.

  2. The number icon appears on top right corner of each group/folder indicating the number of active players and total players.

  3. When you select a player/ group/ folder, the corresponding attributes will display at right side.
