8.5 Copying files using FTP
The EM7480/EM7485 has a FTP server. The FTP server is available if an internal
hard disk, USB stick or USB hard disk is connected to the EM7480/EM7485. We
recommend to use a FTP program such as ‘FileZilla’. The following steps were done
using ‘FileZilla’.
1. Use the navigation keys to select ‘Setup’ and press the ‘OK’ button.’
2. Select ‘Misc’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
3. Make sure you know your media player’s IP-Address. Select ‘Network Info’ and
press the ‘OK’ button after which the (detailed) network information is shown.
Return to the main menu.
4. Open ‘FileZilla’ on your computer.
5. Fill out your media player’s IP-Address at ‘Host’.
6. Fill out the username at the ‘username’ field username by default is: user
7. You can fill out any made-up password at the ‘Password’ field.
8. Click ‘Connect’ or press the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard after which the FTP
connection will be made.
9. You will be shown a tree structure of the available storage mounts connected to
the EM7480/EM7485. Select the mount and folders you wish to copy the files to.
10. You can now ‘drag’ files from the local site (your computer) to the ‘external site’
(media player).
9.0 Setting up the media player for media
playback
Before you start to play your media files, you might want to setup some options which
are useful for media play. The media player has multiple options which can be set for
media playback. During the following chapter, we will discuss the most important
options and which options should be turned on or off by default. If desired, you can
make any changes you want to these settings.
9.1 Media Library
The EM7480/EM7485 has the possibility to create a library or database of the media
content which is placed on the internal hard disk or connected USB devices. This way,
when a category is selected, all media belonging to this category will be shown. At
movies, all supported video files will be shown at once, at ‘Music’, all supported audio
files will be shown at once and at ‘Photo’, all supported image files will be shown at
once. Using the ‘Menu’ button on the remote control, you will be able to select different
views and make more detailed selections.
1. Go to ‘Setup’ and press the ‘OK’ button on the remote control.
2. Go to ‘MISC’.
