Send a Player command

An Owner or Administrator can send a fixed Tilecast command to a paired screen. Available controls depend on the Player’s platform and reported capabilities.

Send a command to one screen

1. Open Screens > Fleet and select the screen.
2. Open Device > Maintenance.
3. Choose an available action, such as Sync now, Reload playback, Clear media cache, or Restart the Player.
4. Check the command status in the screen’s Maintenance section or in Activity.

Studio reports that a command was queued; this does not mean the Player completed it. The Player must collect the command and report its result. A command cannot be undone after the Player collects it, and commands may expire before a disconnected Player reconnects.

Send the same command to several screens

1. Open Screens > Fleet and select Bulk changes.
2. Select the screens and the command.
3. Select Preview the change and review which screens will change, including screens added through a Display Group.
4. Apply the change and check the per-screen results.

The preview lists screens that cannot receive the command. Commands that a Player has already collected cannot be undone.
