PLAYipp Operational Service Hours – how it works

PLAYipp Operational Service Hours – how it works
In PLAYipp, "Operational Service Hours" work a little differently than in Databeat.

1. Default setting

• All players are set to run 24/7 by default.

   

• Automatic restart occurs once per night between 00:01–03:00.

   

• If you do not change anything, the player will always be active.

2. Customization for multiple screens

• Use Screen Groups to define specific service hours (for example, opening hours) for multiple screens at the same time.
• When a screen is added to a Screen Group with defined service hours, the screen will follow this group's settings.
• This works like a kind of "opening hours per location" - but at the group level.

3. Individual deviations / override

• If you need special settings for a single screen (for example, a screen that should have its own times, or always be on regardless), use Override global settings at the screen level.
• This overrides both the default settings and any Screen Group settings.

Important to note for previous Databeat users:

• In Databeat, you set opening and closing times per location, and could choose whether each screen should follow this.
• In PLAYipp, you set it via Screen Groups (corresponding to location level), and screens can have individual overrides.
• So you can use Screen Groups to "group" screens that should have the same times, and use overrides for exceptions.
