How do I schedule playlists by day and time on a TV?
With scheduling, the TV switches playlists on its own based on the date, day or time. For example: one playlist at lunchtime and another in the evening. Outside the scheduled times, the TV shows the default playlist, which is the one selected in the TV's Lista de Reprodução field.
Note: scheduling is not available on all plans. If your plan does not include this feature, the Agendamentos tab shows the message Agendamentos disponível nos planos Essencial, Premium e Corporativo.
How to add a schedule
- In the TVs menu, click the name of the TV.
- Click Habilitar Edição.
- In the Configurações e Status tab, under Configurações básicas, check that a playlist is selected in Lista de Reprodução. This is the default playlist.
- Open the Agendamentos tab.
- Click Adicionar Agendamento.
- In Selecione o Tipo de Agendamento, choose the type (see the table below).
- In Lista de Reprodução, choose the playlist to be shown during the period.
- Fill in the period.
- Repeat steps 5 to 8 for each schedule you want to add.
- Click Salvar.
To remove a schedule, click Habilitar Edição, click the x next to it and save.
Tip: click the ? next to Adicionar Agendamento to see the rules in the panel itself.
Schedule types
| Type | How it works |
|---|---|
| Período de Dias e Horas | A start and/or end date and time. You can fill in only the start date or only the end date. |
| Período de Horas do Dia | A start time and an end time that apply to every day. |
| Período de Horas do Dia em Dia específico | A start time and an end time, only on the chosen day of the week. |
| Dia da Semana | A day of the week. Repeats every week. |
| Dia do Mês | A day of the month. Repeats every month. |
| Mês | An entire month. Repeats every year. |
For the Período de Horas do Dia and Período de Horas do Dia em Dia específico types, the start time and end time are mandatory. The period can go past midnight, for example from 22:00 to 02:00.
Important rules
- The TV must be online. If the TV is offline at the scheduled time, it keeps showing the last playlist it received while it was online.
- Have a default playlist. Without one, nothing is shown outside the scheduled times, and the panel shows an alert on the TV's page.
- There is no priority setting. If two schedules overlap, this order applies: Período de Dias e Horas, Período de Horas do Dia em Dia específico, Período de Horas do Dia, Dia do Mês, Dia da Semana and, lastly, Mês.
- Empty scheduled playlist. If the scheduled playlist is empty, or if it only has scheduled files that are outside their display time, the app keeps showing the items from the previous playlist.
- Device clock. Schedules follow the date and time set on the device, shown in Data/Hora da TV under Status e Informações. If they are wrong, see The device clock seems to be wrong.
To choose when a specific file appears within a playlist, use file scheduling: How to schedule when a file appears.
