Playlists that loop all day on your shop TVs

Any mix of images and videos from your media library: JPG, PNG and WebP images, and MP4 and MOV videos, each file up to 100 MB. A playlist can be a single menu image, a slideshow of offers, one looping video, or all of these together.

The same file can sit in as many playlists as you like, so your logo slide or opening hours only need to be uploaded once.

• Each playlist has a default time for images, from 1 to 600 seconds. A new playlist starts at 8 seconds.
• Give any single item its own time in seconds, for example 15 seconds for the full menu and 5 seconds for a quick offer.
• Videos play to the end unless you set a time. A time shorter than the video trims it to that length.
• Clear an item's time to go back to the default for an image, or the full length for a video.

Here is one way a counter screen might run. The screen plays the rows from top to bottom, then starts again from row 1.

Choose portrait or landscape when you create the playlist. It stays fixed, so the playlist always fits the screens it was made for. If you have both kinds of TV, make one playlist for each.

When you add media, the media picker shows matching files and warns you about any that do not fit. A playlist only ever plays on screens with the same orientation.

Yes, always. When the last item ends, the screen goes straight back to the first one, and keeps going until a schedule switches it to another playlist. Each image comes in with the effect you pick for it, or a straight cut, and videos always fade in.

A playlist with just one image or one video stays on screen, with the video looping in place.

Online screens playing the playlist pick up your edit within seconds, without you pressing anything. It starts at the end of the current loop, so the edit never cuts in half way through an item. Screens that are offline get it when they reconnect.

Until then, each screen keeps playing the version it already has. Sync now is still there on the Devices page if you want to send the latest version to a screen yourself.

Yes. When the Business Admin (owner) creates a playlist, they choose Shared to use it in every shop, or pick one shop. A Shop Manager or Shop Staff member creates playlists for the shops they work in, and can open and edit those shops' playlists plus the shared ones.

Edit a shared playlist once and every shop playing it gets the change. Each shop still decides when it plays, through its own schedules.

Press Restart playlist in the playlist builder or on the playlist list. Every screen playing that playlist right now jumps back to the first item, in place, without restarting the player app. It is handy for starting the loop from the top when the shop opens, or for lining screens up again.

If no screen is playing the playlist at that moment, OutDeck tells you and nothing changes.

• Search playlists by name.
• Show only portrait or only landscape playlists.
• Sort by name, date created, last updated or number of items.
• A playlist that a screen or schedule still uses cannot be deleted. Take it off those screens and schedules first.
• Deleted playlists go to the Trash, where you can restore them.
