Local Playlist

A Local Playlist allows you to customize which Dynamic Playlist is used in a presentation depending on the player. For example, if you are using BrightSign players at a dozen different locations, and the locations require the same content except for variations in the content of the Dynamic Playlists, you only need to create, edit, and update one presentation that uses a Local Playlist rather than a dozen that use different Dynamic Playlists.

Open

To add a Local Playlist to your presentation, click the Other tab in the Media Library. Then drag and drop the Local Playlist icon where you would normally add a Dynamic Playlist.

• State name: Enter a unique name for the Local Playlist state.

• Default playlist: Specify a default Dynamic Playlist for players to use. If a player enters the Local Playlist state and does not have a Dynamic Playlist assigned to it, it will use the default Dynamic Playlist instead.

• Filter by player name: Enter a search term and click the magnifying glass () icon. The list will be filtered to contain only players with names that match (or partially match) the search term.

• Filter by playlist name: Enter a search term and click the  icon. The list will be filtered to contain only players currently assigned Dynamic Playlists with names that match (or partially match) the search term.

• Playlist: Assign a Dynamic Playlist to each player connected to your BrightSign Network Account.

Example

This image shows a Local Playlist added to a looping playlist. Note that the images before and after the Local Playlist will be the same for all players that use the presentation--only the content of the Local Playlist will differ.
