Media Button Type Assignment

When you assign a media item to a Media Button, you select the type of Media Button you want to use. This doesn't change the media item, but how Kiva Presenter uses it.

Media Buttons can be assigned to one of three basic types or used for a playlist. What the Media Button is assigned to is identified by the icon on the Media Button and the color used behind the name. You cannot change the type of an existing Media Button, but you can assign the media item to multiple Media Buttons.
