Fleet screen management

Fleet screen management allows you to manage multiple Players from a single Studio Server instance.

How it works

Example

When a player connects to a playgroup url http://<your_studio_instance>:5000/group/<group_id>, Obscreen Studio will use playgroup's playlist to show the player's content.

Warning

This can work only if you have enabled Studio Fleet Management in settings. Plus you need to pair players to your Studio Server (Learn more about how to configure players).

Step by step setup

Check

Make sure you have at least one playlist available!

Steps to configure a Player

1. Go to Devices menu then Players submenu.
2. Click on Add Player button and choose a name for your player.
3. Fill up the Host field with the player's IP address and click on Save

Steps to create a group

1. Go to Devices menu then Playgroups submenu.
2. Click on Add Playgroup button and choose a name for your playgroup.
3. Select a playlist to a group and click on Save.
4. Now you can click on Assign Player button to assign the player you created before to this group.

Now, once a request is made by a player to your Studio Server instance, it will:

• Retrieves the group's playlist.
• Show corresponding playlist on screen.
