Frequently Asked Questions
What if I schedule videos back to back?
There is a 1 – 2 minute delay between videos if they are scheduled back-to-back
Example: Video 1 ends at 1:00 and Video 2 starts at 1:00. Video 2 will start at 1:01 or 1:02.
What happens when a video finishes playing?
When a video published to Direct Broadcast finishes playing, the regularly scheduled slideshows will resume.
Why can’t I select ‘Reoccurring Event’ on my video and DVD events?
Video and DVD events are individually scheduled. When creating a new video event, if the “Show on TV” toggle is enabled, the ‘repeat’ options are disabled. If ‘repeat’ options are chosen before turning on the “Show on TV” toggle, the toggle is disabled with an info icon explaining why.
