First-time setup — from box to screen

What this covers: Everything from opening the box to seeing your content play. Your media player arrives already registered to your account — there's no pairing or activation step. Setup is just power, TV, and internet.

Before you start: A TV with a free HDMI input, a power outlet, and either an Ethernet connection or your WiFi password.

What's in the box

I. Digital Media Player · II. Power Adapter · III. HDMI Cable · IV. WiFi Antenna

Steps

  1. Power the player. Connect the Power Adapter to the media player and plug it into the wall outlet. It turns on by itself — a blue and a red light on top of the case show it's powered on, and the front display shows the time once it's running. (See How to connect your player to the TV.)
  2. Connect to the TV. Run the HDMI Cable from the player to any available HDMI input on your TV, and switch the TV to that input.
  3. Get it online. Plug in an Ethernet cable (nothing to configure), or run the on-screen WiFi setup with a USB keyboard. (See How to set up your internet connection.)
  4. That's it for hardware. The player is already registered to your account and appears on your Players page in the online app on its own.
  5. Put content on it. Sign in at app.screenfluence.com, build a loop and campaign if you haven't yet, and assign the campaign to your new player (see How to put a campaign on your screen). Your content appears on the TV shortly after.

Tips & good to know

  • Until a campaign is assigned, the screen won't show content — that's normal for a brand-new player.
  • Name the player something recognizable ("Front Window", "Lobby Left") as soon as it appears — hover over it on the Players page and click Edit.

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing on the TV: check the TV is on the right HDMI input, and the player's lights are on.
  • The front display reads "BOOT": the player hasn't started correctly — contact Screenfluence immediately at 1-844-772-7336.
  • The player never appears on your Players page: it isn't online yet — re-check step 3.
