Compute Stick is a portable PC thats great for signage. Here's some instructions for setting up a video to autoplay MP4 off a usb stick on the digital signage screens on level one of the edge( or any other HDMI equiped screen for that matter)

  • Put your mp4 file inside a folder named “file” on your usb stick
  • Plug the compute stick into the HDMI 2 port on the screen and select this port as the input for the screen
  • plug in 5v power supply
  • Compute stick should fire up, and as long as the compute stick has the right bat file installed, it should auto play your mp4 file.

If it doesn't

  • go to the Bat file in c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\windows\start menu\Programs\StartUp and make sure that this autoplayscript is picking up from the usb stick

“C:\ProgramFiles\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe” d:\file\ –fullscreen
