How to use the FTP widget?
Say, that you have an FTP site with your media, called ftp://srv.signcastmedia.com, the media is located in a root folder named “MyFolder” and the user to access this FTP is “myftpuser“.
In the widget, you’ll have to set the following settings:
Server – Type there your FTP URL. In this example: srv.signcastmedia.com (remember not to put “ftp://” before the URL).
User – Type there your FTP username. In this example: myftpuser
Password – Type there the password of your FTP username.
Directory – The folder where the media files are located. In this example: /MyFolder/ (do not forget to put slash before and after the folder name).
Pattern – The pattern of the media files to be used. Example: *.mp4 will use all the mp4 video files, *.jpg will use all the jpg images, MyVideo.mp4 will play only the specific video called MyVideo.mp4, etc.
Sort by name – Checking this checkbox will sort the media alphabetically, in case of multiple media files.
Duration – The default duration for displaying an image slide. Remember that the FTP widget is actually a slideshow widget-like that can show videos and/or images.
Check interval – The frequency of checking the FTP folder for new media. Please notice that the only 2 cases where the FTP folder is checked for new media (new files or same files with different content) is when you press “Go” in the app or according the check interval. It is not checked when the creative starts playing, each playlist cycle.
