Example: Presentation Playlist File

The following is an example of a presentation playlist that contains multiple datasets. This playlist would be located in the the sosrc directory on the SOS computer. Note that any line preceeded by a # symbol is a comment.

include = /shared/sos/media/land/blue_marble/blue_marble/playlist.sos
include = /shared/sos/media/astronomy/mars/original/playlist.sos

# Here, we are setting the frames per second to 20.
include = /shared/sos/media/oceans/chile_tsunami/playlist.sos
fps=20

# Here, we set the stopframe
include = /shared/sos/media/oceans/japan_tsunami_waves/combo/playlist.sos
stopframe = 487

As of SOS version 4.3.0, Presenter Notes may be added to any presentation playlist file. Presenter notes are accessed from the iPad’s SOS Remote app’s Presentation tab, and can be edited either from the app’s Playlist Builder tab, through the Visual Playlist Editor, or manually using a text editor. If editing a playlist file manually, each line that is to be a presenter note should begin with #>. Presenter note lines should go at the very bottom of the presentation playlist. Following is an example.

One thing to note is that if you add presenter notes to a presentation playlist manually and then open them in the iPad app’s Playlist Builder and make edits, any normal comment lines (lines that begin with a # symbol) that were originally in the playlist will get deleted.

include = /shared/sos/media/land/blue_marble/blue_marble/playlist.sos

include = /shared/sos/media/astronomy/mars/original/playlist.sos
