In some cases, content can be stored on the player rather than constantly streamed from the server. This reduces the network
traffic, and can allow some content to be played even without a server connection.
• Disabled prevents content from being cached on the player even if the player and your license supports this.
• Enabled activates general content caching of video and other content if supported by your license and player, thereby reducing network traffic. Supported by PIXILAB Player version 6 with persistence enabled and PIXILAB Player 7 or later when installed on the internal SSD. It may also work with other players if there’s at least 5GB of storage and the server connection uses
HTTPS (HTTPS not required with PIXILAB Player). The "General Content Caching" license is required.
• For Offline Use caches the Spot’s default block (the one dragged onto the Spot on the Display page) and all its associated
media files on the player. This allows the block to be played even when the player is not connected to the server. Such offline
use does not support any functions relying on the server.
IMPORTANT: Offline playback works only with our PIXILAB Player software. The player needs to support persistent
storage, such as an internal SSD (SDXC cards are not compatible). A separate “Offline Spot” license is required for each
player to be used offline. This license remains consumed even if that player is no longer connected to your system or you
later disable the Offline mode. Mark such players clearly. Players for which Offline use has been enabled are tracked in a
file named “Licenses-XXX” in the model directory of your Blocks root directory, where XXX is your license number. Do
not rename, delete or share this file across servers or Blocks root directories.
