Play directly to a media player
If your digital media player is UPnP enabled, Pearl-2 can play direct the media player to play recorded files, without browsing through menus in the player.
Recorded files must be in MPEG-TS format and use the supported codecs: H.264 with MP3 or AAC audio.
If a viewer password is configured, that could prevent the ability to use UPnP, see Set or change user passwords.
To play directly to a media player:
- Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to Admin panel.
- Ensure Share recorded files through UPnP is enabled on your Pearl-2 and for the channel or recorder you want to share, see Enable UPnP.
- Open the recorded files list for the channel or recorder, see View list of recorded files.
- From the list of files, select the file you want to play and click on the Play To icon for the file. A list of visible digital media players is displayed.
- Select a media player. The recording plays on the screen that is connected to the media player.
