hi 

Ive got a project. I need to make 22 mp4 HD video files play back in 22 days, so day 1 would be file 1 - day 22 would be file 22 and so on, 

The video files are not looped and are one single video file, (some as large as 32gb) and have sound will be playing on HDMI to a projector and Speakers. 

I've not used an BrightSign XD233 before only older models, 

is this possible on this model? 

a few questions,

can I play them back off a eternal hard drive ?

or off a network (like a server)?

if so then can I make 22 playlists? to reference each video on the day (as this cycle will loop for 44 days.  

or would i need 22 sd cards (one for each day and they would need to be changed each day?) 

 

Advice please, 

thanks in advance guys

    I am not an expert, I just play one on TV...but couldn't you build a single presentation in BrightAuthor and include all 22 mp4 files but trigger them with a time/clock event widget for each of the 22?

    This video shows you how to use the time clock event to play content at the top of the hour, but you could use it to set just one piece of content to play each day. Like Allen said, just set the event to go off once on each day, and let the video loop.

    OKtjat would work. But In my case each film is very long and very large like 34gb! As they are a about 6hs in length
    Can I use an external hard drive or network to store the files on?
    Or is this not possible ?
