Display Setting Profile (recommended)
Once connected to the CMS, each Display will be assigned a default Display Profile which will apply all settings to all Displays assigned with that profile. Using Display Profiles to control versions and licensing is our recommended way in order to minimise potential errors across multiple Displays.
Upgrading a Player app version
As new Player app releases are made available we recommend upgrading your Player app to the latest version in order to take advantage of all security and bug fixes which may have been included.
Our recommended Media Players can be upgraded from the CMS. Take a look at our device comparison chart to see which Media Players can be upgraded in this way:
Download the latest Player release
From the CMS, navigate to Player Versions under the Displays section of the main CMS menu
Click Add Version
Upload the downloaded Player release file
Go to Display Settings, use the row menu to select the Display Profile for the Player
Click Edit and open the General tab
Use the Player Version drop-down menu and select the new version
Click to Save
Displays which have the Display Profile assigned will now download the chosen version and install during their set download/upgrade window.
If you are not on a plan you will need to purchase a Player Licence in order to upgrade to a new major version!
