Annex : Philips Flat TV Slideshow Format
Notes:
- The latest version of this document can be found on the Philips support website (www.philips.com/support).
Use the type number of your TV (e.g. 32PF9956/12) to find this documentation and other related files.
- Philips can’t be held responsible for any problems that may occur as a result of the content in this document. Errors
reported to Philips will be adapted and published on the Philips support website as soon as possible.
• The slideshow will use plain ASCII XML syntax to allow the creation and editing of the slideshow
files using simple tools.
• All references to network content must be based on the global address of the content.
• Content on a Portable Memory (PM) doesn't have a global address; as a result content from a PM
can never be referenced from a slideshow not stored on the PM itself.
• To maintain portability, a slideshow stored on a PM should ONLY reference content on the same
PM. Referencing global addresses can result in inconsistencies if the PM is used on a non-networked
CE device. The latter is however not forbidden, it is only a recommendation.
• It is preferable that URL’s referencing PM content are based on a relative path starting from the
directory where the slideshow is stored. This path includes the device or drive name of the PM.
An absolute path to content will also be supported.
- relative path: pictures\test1.jpg, tamper.jpg, ..\new\bird.jpg, …
- absolute path: USB1:\pictures1\foo_bar.jpg, C:\f1.jpg, \organisation.jpg, …
