One playlist on multiple screens but different timing


I have a set of six screens and I was hoping to run one playlist on four of the screens (screens A, B, C and E) but have each screen play the playlist staggered by 10ish seconds or so.

Is this possible to do? It would simplify my life drastically so I wouldn’t have to keep track of four different playlists.

Try to use an spacer widget

Thanks, I didn’t even know that was what spacer did BUT unfortunately that can only be applied to playlists.

What I need is to be able to set zones/screens A, B, C and E (in layout view) to be staggered (spacer would be perfect IF it could be added to a zone.)

What is the version of your CMS?

And why can’t you use playlists as “zones”?

Understand that playlists are equivalent to “regions” in previous CMS’s

But to be honest, I don’t really understand what you want to do.

What would be a staggered playlist?

Thanks, I think I figured it out. I set each screen/region as a playlist. And each of those playlists had a spacer (0, 10, 20 and 30 second delays) and the main playlist. Everything seems to be fine now. Not sure why I was making it harder than it was.

Nice! thanks for sharing with us. Sometimes the doubt is that of other people too.
I’m glad it worked
