Access assets and media files on the player

Classic interface

Pi Player is based on Raspbian OS which is a Linux variant.

Over SSH

SSH to the IP address of the player. The assets are stored in this directory.

/home/pi/media

See Issue shell commands or connect to pi terminal for how to connect.

In a browser

Open the following address in a browser on the same network, replacing the placeholder with the IP address of your player.

http://[player ip]:8000/assets

Use the EDIT button there to delete assets.

New interface

Raspberry Pi and Linux players

Downloaded assets are stored in the media folder in the player user's home directory (~/media, for example /home/pi/media).

To list the files from the web UI:

1. Go to Screens and click the eye (view) icon of the player.
2. Open the Terminal tab.
3. Type ls -lh ~/media and press Enter. The files are listed with their size and date.

Android app and Amazon Signage Stick

The app stores the assets inside its own app storage, not in a folder you can open with a file manager or over USB.

To list the files, open Screens → eye icon → Terminal (same as above) and run:

• ls – lists the media files with size and modified time
• info – shows the device details, free disk space and the size of the media files
• help – lists all commands available on the player
