Video Formats: The Media Player plays the following video formats: MPEG1 / MPEG2 / MPEG4 Divx4 / Divx5 / Divx6 H.
For example, if a folder contains an image file and two video files in the following order: • car-choice-banner.jpg • car-choice-banner.mpeg • top-of-range.mpeg then the Android Media Player will first display the car-choice-banner.jpg image for three seconds, and then play the discount-car.mpeg video and then play the top-of-range.mpeg video. While the Android Media Player is playing, all the content in Folder 0 will play the sequence repeatedly in an endless loop.
Barcode Reader – Plays Per Barcode The Android Media Player can be used to automatically play the content of a specific file in the Root directory of the Media Player when a barcode reader is connected. Copy a file onto the Android Media Player with the same exact name as the barcode. The media player will then automatically play the content of that file when a product with that barcode is read.
Folder 0 will automatically start playing. If multiple files are in Folder 0, then they play one after another repeatedly. If the tablet does not start to play the content, then restart it and the content should start playing automatically after restart. NOTE Do not turn off the Media Player or remove the USB drive while it is copying. We recommend removing the USB disk after its content has been successfully copied.
