Restart the Player

If a display isn't showing what it should, a restart often helps. On a screen's detail page there are two «Neu starten» (Restart) buttons for this: one restarts only the revolutionSCREEN application on the device, the other the entire display.

How to get there

Sidebar on the left «Screens» → open the screen

Restart the app

The «Neu starten» (Restart) button at the top right of the detail page restarts the revolutionSCREEN application on the device. The display itself stays switched on.

When: when the screen is online but doesn't pick up new or changed content, content gets stuck, or the app stops responding.

Restart the display

Expand the «Vorschau» (Preview) section. The «Neu starten» (Restart) button under «Physischer Display» (Physical display) restarts the display itself, that is, the hardware. This remote control is only available for displays with connected remote management.

When: when restarting the app doesn't help or the device itself stops responding.
Takes effect immediately on site

During the restart the display is briefly black. Where possible, restart displays in customer areas outside opening hours, and first check that you have opened the correct screen.

Good to know

  • Try restarting the app first, it's faster.
  • After the restart, the «GERÄT» (Device) box on the right should show «ONLINE» again after a short time.
  • If the screen stays «OFFLINE», check the power and internet connection on site.
