Troubleshooting
If your Player is not receiving new plans or is not playing
what it should be playing, below are some settings you
can check.
If the issues appear to be network-wide, start by
checking Content Manger. If they are isolated to one or
more players, check the players first (see steps below).
Content Manager
Check in Content Manager -> Settings -> License
Status to see if the License file has been downloaded
and is current.
Check to see if the Content Manager and Player are
using the current Release. In Content Manager,
navigate to Settings -> Server Settings and select the
System Information tab. In the Player 5 Configuration,
select the Info tab.
On the Content Manager server, go to Start -> Settings
-> Control Panel. Double-click on Administrative
Tools, then Services.
Make sure the following services are running:
Apache Tomcat
PostgreSQL Database Server
Scala Transmission Server
70
Content Manager
Player
On the Player system, check to see if the Player
Transmission Client is running. This is indicated by an
icon in the Windows task bar.
Note: If the Player was installed with the option to make
the Transmission Client as a service, the icon will not be
there and you will need to check the Windows Services
console.
In the Player 5 Configuration tool, check to see if you
are able to connect to Content Manager, by Selecting
the Refresh button. If so, the Player should load the
Network name and no error message will appear.
You can also diagnose the network connection to
Content Manager outside of Player:
