Setting a Web Page to refresh

Setting a Web Page to refresh

When you add a single Web Page to a Show, the Web Page will not refresh. The same thing happens with a Playlist with a single Web Page in it. This is by design, since many Web Pages need to be shown constantly.

To refresh a Web Page, you enable the Refresh Web page toggle, located in the Web Page's Advanced Settings. This will cause the Player to reload the Web Page every X seconds/minutes.

Refresh Web Page

IMPORTANT
If you refresh a page too often, the website might block your IP. Set a duration that matches your needs. We suggest a minimum of 60" refresh time. Also, account for ALL the Players that will be loading this Web Page. Your IP or whole system might be blocked if you load content too fast from a third-party website.

Custom Script
Bear in mind that if you have added a custom script running on this web page, by enabling the "Refresh Web page," any Script Code that you may have defined will only be executed on the first load of the page and not on each successive refresh.
