The Export channel list is useful to export the channel list to the TV/Video module in the Composer.

Register in a server

Server registration

In this screen you can register a player in a Content Manager. When connected to the server, it's possible to specify a name for the player as well as for each of the screens enabled on the player.

Synchronization options are start synchronization which determines when the start calculating the interval for synchronization. For instance, for a hourly synchronization just set start synchronization at any hour and then set the interval to 1 hour.

If the synchronization fails, there's an option that specifies the number of reconnect attempts as well as the interval between each of those reconnection attempts.

After all being configured, enable the option Enable connections to server so that the player fetches new and updated projects from the server.
