| NET+4 | Logo file | send integer as to which index of logo is supposed to be used send 0 to disable logo and 1 for the first logo in the folder. |
Specify your media root directory in the .env file.
We use directories in order to group media together e.g.
media
├── 0
│ ├── 1.mp4
│ ├── 2.png
│ └── x.mp4
└── 1
├── 1.flac
└── some_media.gif
This means you can tell the vlc player to select certain media from certain subfolders by setting the Bytes at NET and NET+1.
If you'd like to select x.mp4 you'd send 0 at Channel NET and 2 at Channel NET+1
If you want to use Logos. Add them to your media directory /logos and see the Commands section as per how to use them
