Players store your content locally, so it keeps playing even if the internet goes down. But files on a device can get damaged: by a power cut during a download, or by a worn-out memory card.
Players check their own files
Media players now check their downloaded files on a schedule. If a file can’t be verified, the player downloads it again by itself.
What it means for you:
- Fewer frozen images, black slides or videos that stop halfway.
- Problems fix themselves, often before anyone notices.
- No need to send someone on site to clear the cache or reinstall.
You don’t need to do anything: it works automatically on your players.
What’s in this update
- Media players periodically check downloaded files for corruption, and download again any file that can’t be verified
