Before proceeding, you must stop the Channel by deactivating the checkbox. Stopping the channel will also stop the playout.
Defining the Repository Folders of a Channel
Just Play Lite NDI as well as the internal playout engine are looking for Videos, Audio, Graphics and previously saved Playlists in the Repository folders defined for the Channel. While you can define as many Repository folders as you want, the priority while playing Movies, Audio or Graphics is from top to bottom. So, if there are two Video repository folders defined, the engine will look for the Video in the first repository folder first, and will only look in the second repository folder if it cannot be found in the first one. This can be useful in case the first repository is the local disk and the second one is a centralized storage.
