Scheduling Playback (HD2000 only)
Videos, still images, playlists, and CSV files can be played back at scheduled times using
the autoschedule.txt file. This file contains a series of date/time specifications, followed
by a specification of what to play when the date/time event occurs.
The syntax of the date/time specification is as follows:
Year “/” Month “/” Day “-“ Day of Week “-“ Hour “:” Minutes
For example, a date/time specification for December 23, 2007 at 3:20 PM is defined as:
2007/12/23-*-15:20
In this example, the Day of Week specification parameter is a wildcard defined with an
asterisk. All date/time parameters not used must be defined as wildcards using an asterisk
(*).
