1. The volume slider at the top will adjust the playback volume of the video.

2. The playhead/scrubber bar adjusts your position in the video.

3. The two arrow buttons skip backwards/forwards 5 seconds in the video, The play button allows playing/pausing of the video.

4. The 360 mode and non-360 mode buttons decide whether the video fills the Igloo Canvas or not - for 360 videos, the video will need to fill the canvas.

If the video you’ve selected is a 360 video, 360 mode should be enabled automatically.

The app will also automatically select the highest quality setting available when loading a new video.

Pressing the back arrow at the top of this page will take you back to your YouTube browsing session, where you can select another video to play. When you do this, the current video will be hidden from the Igloo Canvas.

ICEdrop

ICE Drop is an Igloo Control Panel app that allows the uploading of files to the media server from remote devices.

The app places uploaded files into a configurable content folder.

To use it, open the app from Igloo Control Panel’s Apps tab.

This screen shows the files currently contained within the defined content folder.

Individual files can be clicked to remove them from the folder. The “Delete all” button will remove every file from the folder.

To upload files, click the “Upload files” button. This will open a separate window, like this:

Drag files from Windows Explorer onto this new window to upload them. They will appear in the list shown by the main window.

To browse files within the folder on the Igloo screen, just open it in Igloo Web. It’s likely that this path was bookmarked for you during setup.

Configuration

The folder path to use for uploads is configured in C:\igloo\igloo-core-service\config.json.

Change the icedrop.directory property shown below to change the target folder.
This folder must already exist on the machine.
All backslashes in this string must be escaped (as shown below).

When setting this path, it’s helpful to bookmark it in Igloo Web too - just paste the directory from Windows Explorer into Igloo Web’s URL bar and then save it as a bookmark, part of a tabset, or however else you need to use the file browser.
