- AVOD Overview -

The eHome AVOD (Audio and Video on demand) section are simple
NOTE: The eHome AVOD is very suitable for small in flight systems.

- Playing Audio -

Click the Audio icon on the main menu and you go into the Audio catalog screen. From here can change genre's, switch to the audio player or just select a CD to play. Use the left and right buttons on the bottom to change pages or you can just swipe you finger left and right to do the same thing.

Note: Notice the green bar and the text 'Remote' in the upper right of the picture? This tells you that the volume you are controlling not your local computer but is on a remote server your audio catalog is connected to. So if you do not see them, you are volume controls are connected to you local computer. If you see them, your volume controls are connected the remote computer.

Very simple player controls. On the far right is the transport controls... Play, Stop, Pause, etc... And on the bottom right is the button to switch back to your Audio catalog or use the 'back' button in the top left to switch back to the Main Menu.  Just touch the song you want to play or use the Prev Page - Next page buttons to see more songs. Remember too, you can swipe your finger left or right to change pages. WOW...  Easy.

- Playing Video -

Click the Video icon on the main menu and you go into the Video catalog screen. From here can change genre's, switch to the video player or just select a video to play. Use the left and right buttons on the bottom to change pages or you can just swipe you finger left and right to do the same thing. Works the same way as the Audio player!

Again, Very simple player controls. On the far right is the transport controls... Play, Stop, Pause, etc... And on the bottom right is the button to switch back to your Video catalog or use the BACK button in the top left to switch back to the Main Menu.  (Your video show will pause if you go back to the main menu) If your folder has more then a single video file eHome will prompt you for which one to play.

Note: If you are playing music and start playing a video the the music will automatically pause.
