Numbering files

Documentation menu
On this page
  1. Same number: overlay
  2. +: reuse one overlay
  3. _: sub-item ordering
  4. Subfolders

The number at the start of a file or folder name sets its place in the playlist. Items without a number are ignored, so notes and other files can stay in the folder.

Content folder
  |-- 01 Welcome.mp4
  |-- 02 Teaching.mkv
  |-- 03 Meditation.mp3
  |-- 03 Slide.png        <- overlays 03 Meditation.mp3
  |-- 04 Deck.pptx        <- PowerPoint slideshow
  |-- 05 Photos           <- folder slideshow
  |   |-- image-1.jpg
  |   |-- image-2.jpg
  |-- Notes.txt           <- ignored

Same number: overlay

Two items with the same number play together: the image, photo folder or deck becomes an overlay on the audio or video.

07 Audio.mp3
07 Image.png

Result:
07 Audio.mp3 + Image.png overlay

On the config page, overlays are listed indented under the item they belong to.

+: reuse one overlay

Join numbers with + to use one overlay for several items, instead of copying the file.

03 Audio.mp3
08 Audio.mp3
03+08 Photos

Result:
03 Audio.mp3 + Photos overlay
08 Audio.mp3 + Photos overlay

_: sub-item ordering

Add _ and a second number to order several items that share a number.

03_1 Intro.mp4
03_2 Teaching.mp4
03_3 Meditation.mp3

Result:
plays 03_1, then 03_2, then 03_3

Subfolders

The app saves the options you set on the config page in a folder-player.txt file in the content folder. Subfolders that have their own folder-player.txt get their own presets.
