Defining the Repository Folders of a Channel

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