Specify Duration for Each File
SmartSignage switches content according to the time set in “Settings” > “Behavior” > “Duration for each content”.
You can specify the duration for each file since Ver.2.8. The duration is specified according to a specific format.
For filenames that do not match the format, the duration set in “Settings” is used.
To use this function, enable “Settings” > “Behavior” > “Duration for each content” > “Using values embedded in the file name”. If it is invalid, the value in filename is ignored.
File Name Format
To specify the duration for each file, add @t after the normal file name without the extension, then specify the number of seconds, and finally add the extension.
The format is:
<any name>@t<seconds|milliseconds>[ms].<extension>
<> is required. [] can be omitted.
Specify the display duration in seconds. A decimal point cannot be specified. When setting a value less than 1 second, specify it in milliseconds (1⁄1000 second) and add ms.
For example, if you want 5.5 seconds, specify 5500ms.
Special Value
Negative values have specific functions.
-2
For video files, the video will play to the end. For other files, it will be the duration set in “Settings” > “Behavior” > “Duration for each content”.-1 , 0, or a negative value exept -2
The duration set in “Behavior” > “Duration for each content” is applied. If “Settings” > “Behavior” > “Duration for each content” > “Video playback use its own duration” is enabled, the video file will be played to the end.
