Handling Large Amounts of
Media Content
It is expected that large
amounts of media content will
be brought into the vehicle.
It may be necessary to handle
large amounts of media
content in a different way than
smaller amounts of media. The
system may limit the options
of voice recognition by not
allowing selection of files by
voice at the highest level if the
number of files exceeds the
maximum limit. Changes to voice commands
due to media content
limits are:
.Files including other
individual files of all media
types such as songs,
audiobook chapters, podcast
episodes, and videos.
.Album type folders including
types such as albums and
audiobooks.
There are no restrictions if the
number of files and albums is
fewer than 12,000. When the
number of files connected to
the system is between
12,000 and 24,000, the
content cannot be accessed
directly with one command like
“Play .”
The restriction is that the
command “Play Song” must be
spoken first; the system will
then ask for the song name.
The reply command would be
to say the name of the song
to play.
