Cloning Scripture Earth 

When setting up a device for a particular language, the most tedious job is downloading necessary files and copying them to the correct directories on the device.  

The MicroPi firmware includes scripts which will automatically download all contents of the Scripture Earth website for a given language.  Links are automatically installed, allowing the files to be accessed through the MicroPi’s website. Multiple languages may be installed in this fashion as long as there is room on the memory card. All files will be organized into folders named for the language in question. The "Language" tile on the homepage allows a user to easily discover all files related to a particular language.

Note that the device must be connected to the internet and have the Captive Portal disabled for autoload to function. See the Network administration page.

Audio files installed in this manner will be discoverable by Scripture Apps generated to search for audio files on Scripture Earth when the smartphone is connected to the MicroPi, it will emulate SE for this purpose when the device has been deployed offline. For more information see the SAB Integration page.

Autoload content from online sites

• Be sure that the MicroPi is connected to the internet and the Captive Portal is OFF. 

• From the Status & Control Page, click on the "Autoload" link.

Autoload from Scripture Earth

1. Enter the three letter ISO code of the language desired

2. Enter a "Common Name" for the language. This name will will be used to create links to the content. It should be meaningful to potential users of the device.

3. Click the "Clone SE" button.

4. Wait - this process can take an hour or more to complete. The time depends on available bandwidth, and the number of files on the SE site. 

5. The page will report the quantity of data and number of files imported. 

6. A download link is provided to the download log file. This file contains a complete list of files received and includes any errors encountered. 

7. For best results, visit the Text and Video directories of the newly installed language with a web browser to enable the device to generate thumbnails before deploying.

Autoload Global Recordings Network 

The Global Recordings Network creates gospel podcasts in many languages.  Audio files and a video slideshow of these stories can be autoloaded to the MicroPi.  GRN uses both ISO and ROD codes to define languages. ROD Codes are more precise, thus single ISO can indicate several ROD coded languages. When either is entered in the autoload page, subsequent pages indicating which programs for which language will be loaded. The MicroPi uses the GRN API to search programs corresponding to the ISO or ROD code entered. As with Scripture Earth, multiple languages can be installed using this function as long as there is sufficient memory remaining. 

The MicroPi is also compatible with the GRN 5Fish Smartphone app permitting 5Fish to obtain resources from a MicroPi in the absence of live Internet.  

1. Enter an ISO code, OR a ROD Code.

2. Click "Download GRN".

3. Follow through the subsequent pages selecting content. 

Remove a language installed automatically

1. Enter the three letter ISO code of the language desired. 

2. Enter the "Common Name" used for the language when it was installed. 

3. Click "Delete Language"

4. If the strings match an installed language in the the database, all files and links related to that ISO code from both SE and GRN will be removed.
