DMP - Play Video File Stored Locally

Question

I can not get a video file to save or play locally. I have the file stored on the device under usb_1. What is the syntax and path that should be used? Whenever I put the path in the setting does not get saved in the field. I've tried multiple ways and still can't get it to work...thanks.

* Add the Media content item to the Media Library on the Digital Media Manager(DMM)-Digital Signage Module(DSM)
* Create a Playlist or Presentation with this Media Content item
* Go to the DMM-DSM, Under the ADVANCED TASKS Tab select the Application Type "File Transfer to DMP or server"
* Select "Add New Application"
- Select the appropriate Presentation or Playlist
- Press the "Select Application" Button
- Press the "Submit" Button
* Once the "File Transfer to DMP or server" is added, you can run this Task to copy the content locally to the DMP.
- Go to the DMM-DSM DMP Manager and select the desired DMP
- Under the Actions Drop Down, Select the "File Transfer to DMP or server" Task you created and Click GO.
- The Files will copy the presentation or playlist information to the selected(s) DMPs.
* The DMM-DSM will GENERATE a "(Go to) URL entry" in the Advanced Tasks.
In order to see the NAME & URL PATH of the "File Transfer..." Task, Go to the DMM-DSM, Under the ADVANCED TASKS Tab select the Application Type "(Go to) URL entry" and it will list the NAME "LOCAL--" playlist\presentation name.
- Select "Edit Application"
- Record the LOCAL URL PATH
ie. file:///tmp/ftproot/usb_1/deployment/xTAS-core/api/xml/app/playlist/http_pull_86_start_playlist_85_.htm
* You can RUN this Task LOCALLY using the DMP-Device Manager(DM) or Under the Actions Drop Down on the DMM-DSM DMP Manager.
