Device playlist check

Download and inspect the calculated campaign playback plan for a specific device.

Where to find it

Open the device detail and go to Published campaigns. If a playlist is available, use the download button in the lower-right corner. ScreenSoft generates a ZIP archive containing PDF sheets for the active days in the generated weekly schedule.

What the export contains

Each PDF lists the planned playback sequence: preview, planned start time, duration, campaign name, visual type, campaign type, number of slots, visual priority, and screen dimensions and orientation. Depending on the device settings, the ZIP can contain up to seven PDFs, one for each day of the week.

PRIMARY, VARIANT and FREE

PRIMARY marks the campaign’s primary visual, VARIANT another selected visual, and FREE the default fallback visual used when the generated playlist has no campaign for that position. Where a campaign can select among variants dynamically, the exported plan is a planning view and should not be treated as a promise that every visual choice will be identical at runtime.

Planned time is not a playback report
The PDF is a calculated plan. Its timestamps describe the planned sequence; actual playback may shift in time during operation. To assess what actually played, use the Campaign Report rather than the playlist export.

Checking interactive playback

A playlist export shows scheduled items, not proof of actually visible playback. Compare recorded plays with the Campaign Report. Ad visibility during a game requires a test on the specific device.
