Using Playlists
Playlists are a specific set of content which will play on screens in a specific order.
These are often used in public-facing areas where the content doesn't change often. At TrilbyTV, we encourage you to consider using Categories to ensure there is always up-to-date and current content showing on these screens.
Creating a new Playlist
- Click Playlists on the sidebar.
- Click Add Playlist.
- Give the playlist a name and then click + on the content items you would like to add. You can add content items more than once if you would like certain items to show multiple times during the Playlist's playback.
- Click on the Order tab, where you can then drag and drop your chosen content into the order you would like it to playback.
- Click Save
Delete an item: To delete an item, click the bin icon
Duplicate an item: Click the copy icon next to the bin icon
Only content that is approved and has Show on TrilbyTV Player enabled will playback.
Remember to click Save.
Using the Playlist
- In Players, click the player you'd like to display the Playlist on, then either
- Click the Default Schedule and select the Playlist tab if you'd like your playlist to display as default
b. Add Schedule if you'd like your playlist to only play at a specific time or on a certain day.
TIP
Playlists can also be used in Web Players if you wish to embed them inside a VLE or school website. Remember in this case content will also need to be marked as Allow Public Access.
