4.1.8 Scan Storage
The player uses a media library for organizing media files that it finds on available storage
devices. While the media library feature is optional, its use is strongly recommended for the best
user experience.
The player builds its media library by scanning available storage device for media files. The
scanning takes place in the background while the user continues to use the player normally. The

first time a storage device is scanned, the time it takes to fully scan the device may be quite long
if there are numerous media files.
While scanning, the player’s user interface responsiveness may degrade but remain usable. If
the user starts playing a media file while the scanning is taking place, the scan will be paused
and resume when playback is finished.
Each time the player is turned on, or when the storage device is temporarily removed and made
available again, the player will do a quick scan of the storage devices to detect any changes and
update the media library.
The Scan Storage setting adjusts the way in which the player will scan for media files on
available storage devices.
Available settings:
Setting
Description
Auto Scan On Each time a storage device is detected by the player, it will be scanned
for media files.
Auto Scan Off The player will not automatically scan any available storage devices.
The media library will not be updated.
Rescan Storage Manually initiate a scan of available storage devices.
Stop Scanning Manually stop all current active storage scans.
Note: The scanning process creates a file and folder on the root directory of each scanned
storage device. This file and folder contains media library data and should not be deleted. If
deleted, the player will need to perform a new scan to rebuild the media library.
4.1.9 Resume Play
This setting configures whether the player will offer to resume playback at the last stop point
when the user starts to play a video that was played recently. When turned on, the player will
prompt the user to resume play back or cancel and start playing from the beginning of the video.
Available settings: On, Off
4.1.10 Format

based PC using the following parameters:
MBR Partition Table, NTFS file system, no compression.
To use the player to format a hard disk drive, first make sure all data is copied or moved off of
the hard drive before formatting as all data will be permanently erased in the format process. To
