loop presentation in playlist efford

Dear All  

    I have a question on playlist on CISCO DMM, at the moment I like to bundle CISCO¿s Presentation which I made its in CISCO¿s DMD, together into 1 playlist. So I can set inside my schedule for half day to loop morning¿s playlist. while another playlist handle in the afternoon. But at the moment DMM not allow me to add presentation into playlist.  

So I¿m working another way out but would like to confirm for its feasibility. We trying to get uniquie identification for each presentation after saved. This is where we get the links to presentation directly, there are 2 steps.

1.    We see full links to presentation from default browser when we set presentation as default link to DMP (DMP.jpg),
http://xxx.x.x.x:8080/xTAS-core/appgen/clad/clad_394_.htm

2.    We get the number of presentation from presentation preview (Presentation preview.jpg)
http://xxx.x.x.x:8080/xTAS-core/appgen/clad/preview_112_.htm



Then we combine both information together by add identity number of presentation to above links.
http://xxx.x.x.x:8080/xTAS-core/appgen/clad/clad_112_.htm
Then insert each presentation¿s URL into playlist with time assigned. Finally it seem to be work for display. However, there are some follow concern.

¿    When we play VDO-Presentation-VDO2step accordingly, the display will see the problem at VDO2 it¿s show nothing, ¿my understanding is last VDO_2 will not display due to web layer seize the resource and not allow VDO to present. Overcome by, put VDO inside Presentation. Will this workout could solve?
¿    Timeline for each presentation not follow when we adding presentation into playlist,  so customer need to know exact time for each presentation then assigns its to URL. This leads to
¿    All VDO and Presentation will cut-down or partial display when setted time not match with actual VDO length.
¿    And in long run I¿m not sure these numbers will change over time.

I appreciate for your helps.

From the section of your post that states your goal...

    ...at the moment I like to bundle CISCOs Presentation which I made its in CISCOs DMD, together into 1 playlist. So I can set inside my schedule for half day to loop mornings playlist. while another playlist handle in the afternoon.

my understanding is that you want one playlist to loop during half of the day, and another playlist to loop for the second half of the day.
 
You can do this by using the scheduler to scheduling your playlists for the times that you want. If scheduled time is longer than the playlist, the playlist will by default loop around.

I think he wants to do the same thing I want to do. A DMD created presentation is not a selectable asset when creating a playlist. The choices seems to be, play a playlist of media assets, or a DMD presenation, but you can't play a series of DMD created presentations in playlist.
