Pairing with your OneDrive Account
- To create a OneDrive playlist, click on the” Add Playlist” button found at the bottom of the Playlists list.
- In the pop-up window, select “OneDrive” and then click the “Link your OneDrive Account” button to authenticate and give access to your account to use a specific folder on your OneDrive account.
- After clicking the “Link your OneDrive Account” button, a new tab will open in your browser, asking you to log into your Microsoft account.
- After successfully authorizing the app, click “Add” and your OneDrive playlist is ready.
OneDrive Playlist Settings
- After creating the playlist, you will see some additional configuration options:
- Type a Name for the playlist and an optional Description for it
- Enable the” Add black gap between videos” option
The transition between the two videos right now is gapless. The last video frame will be displayed to have gapless transitions between videos playing back-to-back. If you like to have a 0.5s black gap between the videos, enable the above option on your playlist. - Enable Image Transitions
- Enable Random Playback
- Set the default Duration for Images & Documents
- Linked OneDrive Account: The OneDrive account with which your account is paired.
- Selected Folder: The folder where the player will pull the images, documents, or videos and display them on the TV screen.
How to add content to your OneDrive playlist
- A new folder will be created under your OneDrive account and, more specifically, in the Apps section.
- This folder is called Digital Signage, and it is the default folder where your players will “pull” the images from.
- Feel free to add as many images, documents, or videos as possible. Note that the files you add to a OneDrive playlist will be played back in alphabetical order.
TIP: Syncing Files
- After adding files to your linked OneDrive folder, it will take up to 5 minutes for the player to start pulling the files. Bear in mind that the folder needs to have up to 5 minutes of inactivity (not adding/deleting media) before syncing the content.
