Written by Ian Maison

Checking QL Player license attributes

The player properties window is a strong and useful to access information about that specific player. Some of the information the player properties offer include:

How to access and Navigate the Player Properties:

Accessing the Player Properties window is as simple as double clicking on the desired player or right clicking and selecting Edit.

Once you have opened the Player Properties you can navigate the multiple pages by clicking on the arrows to the right and left of the Player Properties window.

Player Properties:

General properties: Enter information about the player’s physical location. It’s also good practice to include the contact information of someone near the player’s physical location who can tend to the player.

Location Specific Content

Location Specific Content: Add content specific to this player that can be called up any playlist. This is full-screen content like videos, images, Flash SWF or even web pages (URLs).

Tag

Player meta tag: Assign meta tags to determine which content can be played on this device. Content assigned matching tags will play on this player.

Technical Profile:

Technical profile: Technical profiles contain many settings that that be assigned to one or more players. To assign a technical profile to an individual player, open its properties and then select the profile from the drop-down box.

To assign a technical profile to an entire group of players, double-click the group name (or right-click and select Edit). Then, select the profile you wish to assign to all the players in the group from the Assign Profile drop-down box.

Reset: The reset button is used to restore the QL Player software back to it’s “newly installed” status. All content and programming is deleted and the player will display the default media image until a new update is sent out.

Reboot: The reboot button forces the player device to restart remotely.

Variables:

Variables are used to redirect dynamic data feeds to individual QL Players. This feature works with XML data feeds. You assign one or more variables to a player in this table. Click here for more information on using Dynamic Data Feeds in your templates or tickers.

License Information:

Serial Number. The serial number is assigned by Navori through its extranet. You can only use one serial number per playback device, however, serial numbers can be transferred from one device to another as long as the software is uninstalled from the original device.

Reset the license:

This button is only to be clicked in the event you wish to transfer a license from one player to another. Once clicked, the license will become “discoverable” again by a new QL Player and you will be able to activate the software on your new device using the same license number.

License add-ons:

The list on the right shows all available add-on modules. Modules are activated through the Navori Extranet. Each module selected in the list (checked-off) is installed and active. Unchecked boxes indicate add-ons that have not been purchased and activated. These boxes cannot be checked by the user. They are simply indicators.

System information:

This table reports on various technical specifications retrieved from the device QL Player is running on. The information will vary depending on the type of hardware used, operating system, etc…

NOTE: You can enter the media player hardware serial number in the last field. Simply click in the field and enter the alpha-numeric information for future reference. This step is optional.

Diagnostic:

New to 2.2.0 and above, this tool pulls a snapshot of the player and media device’s specification when requested.
