Using the Remote Manager

 

 

Monitoring Settings

The Monitoring Settings dialog box allows you to configure different settings for the Player Agent:

Enable Self-Healingallows the agent to take corrective action should a Player experience a problem playing out content.

Load last played playlist… to have the PDS Player automatically load the previously running playlist any time it is started.

In Player Startup, you can optionally enter the name of a playlist to be loaded by the Player when it starts up.

Check Enable Audio Monitoring to allow the audio output and levels to be sent to the Server by the Player. If this is not checked, no audio information or levels will be checked or sent, and no audio alarms will be triggered, even if the Player is playing out audio.

Use the Video Monitoring selection to choose the display output that should be monitored by the Agent-this should be the display receiving the output from the Player (usually the System Secondary Screen).

The settings under Alarm Conditions allow you to control how quickly the Player Agent will send a notification to the Server when encountering the following potential problems:

Missing video: This alarm condition occurs when the agent is not able to get any video output from the Player to provide a screenshot. This usually indicates a problem with the Player.
