Update Interval	How often the player checks for new content or updates. Default: 15 minutes.

Screen Scaling	Adjusts image scaling to ensure content fills the entire display. Useful when some screens cut off content at the edges.

Group vs. Device Settings

Settings can be configured at both the group level and the device level:

• Group settings apply to all devices in the group
• Device settings override group settings for that specific device

Tip

Use group-level settings for defaults and override only on specific devices when needed. This keeps configuration manageable as your network grows.
