Managing Media Files

From time to time you will likely need to remove old media files from your account to make room for new ones. The Centova Cast file manager allows you to perform this and other common file management tasks from within your browser.

File Management

To access the file manager:

  1. In the navigation panel at the left-hand side of the screen, click Files under the AuitoDJ heading.

  2. Select a folder in the left-hand pane. Typically, the only folders of interest will be the media folder, which contains the media you have added to your media library, and ondemand, which contains the media you have added to your On-Demand Content widget.

  3. Select file(s) in the right-hand pane and perform the desired actions on them using the buttons at the bottom of the page. You may also right-click on the files to access a context menu providing the same options.

If you remove media files from the media folder in the file manager, those files will immediately disappear from your media library and any playlists to which you may have added them. If you remove media files from the ondemand folder in the file manager, those files will immediately disappear from your on-demand content widget.

The file manager is explained in greater detail in the File Manager section of the Reference Manual.

Uploading Files

Use the Upload button at the bottom of the page to upload new files into the selected folder. The upload dialog is explained in the Uploading Media section of the Basic Usage guide.
