Defining the Repository Folders of a Channel
The Just Out Engine engine as well as the Just Control user interface which are assigned to a Channel are looking for Videos, Audio, Graphics and previously saved Playlists in the Repository folders defined for the channel. While you can define as many repository folders as you want, the priority while playing Movies, Audio or Graphics is from top to bottom. So in case there are two Video repository folders defined, Just Out will look for the file in the first repository folder first and only look for the Video in the second repository folder in case it cannot find in the first one. This can be useful in case the first repository is the local disk and the second one a centralized storage, for example.

Please ensure that all Engines and all user interfaces that are connecting to a Channel do have access to the Repository folders defined here. Otherwise, you will not be able to see all files available for this Channel. Failing to give access to the correct paths for the Engines/Interfaces could result in scheduled files not playing out! |
