\"url_playlist_surevideo1.5\"<\/a>SureVideo<\/span><\/a><\/strong> gives you a platform to turn your Android devices including Android TV into a video playing kiosk in no time. SureVideo\u2019s robust lockdown is accompanied by easy to configure playlist and arrays of complementing features. However, if you have multiple of these devices at multiple locations and their playlist changes often, it may be an extensive process to add a new video in the device and then to the playlist.<\/p>\n

One solution to this is to host video online and use the link instead of a local file while configuring the playlist in SureVideo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To use this feature, host video online and follow below mentioned steps:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Launch SureVideo Admin Settings<\/strong> password prompt by tapping screen 5<\/strong> times within 3<\/strong> seconds<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Use your SureVideo<\/strong> Admin<\/strong> password to login<\/p>\n

\"login_surevideo_admin_settings\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> On SureVideo<\/strong> Admin<\/strong> Settings<\/strong> screen, tap on SureVideo<\/strong> Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"surevideo_admin_settings\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> On SureVideo Settings<\/strong> screen, tap on Configure<\/strong> Playlist<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"configure_playlist1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> On Playlist<\/strong> screen, tap on Add<\/strong> Playlist<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"add_playlist\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6<\/strong>. On Configure<\/strong> Playlist<\/strong> screen, tap on Add<\/strong> Media File\/Folder\/URL<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"add_media_file\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7<\/strong>. On Add File\/Folder\/URL<\/strong> screen, tap on Add URL<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"add_url\"<\/a><\/p>\n

8<\/strong>. Enter the URL<\/strong> in Set URL For Video Streaming<\/strong> field<\/p>\n

\"enter_url_surevideo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

9<\/strong>. Tap on OK<\/strong> to complete<\/p>\n

Once you exit Admin Settings<\/strong>, SureVideo<\/strong> will start playing the specified video from the link.<\/p>\n
