Screen unpairing update and next steps

Hi there,

We're sorry for the disruption — we know unpaired screens are the last thing you need in the middle of your day.

Here's where we are right now and the steps that will help us get your screens back up.

Restart your players

Please restart all affected players. In many cases, they'll re-pair on their own once they come back online. This is the fastest path to recovery, so it's worth doing first before anything else.

BrightSign devices

We're seeing BrightSign players consistently come back online and re-pair after a restart. If you're running BrightSign, a restart should resolve it.

Samsung Tizen devices

Tizen players should be unaffected by this incident. If you're seeing any issues on Tizen screens, please let us know so we can investigate.

Players that don't recover on their own

For screens that stay unpaired after a restart, we can re-pair them on our end — but only if we can tell them apart. That means:

  • Players on different IP addresses: We can re-pair these for you. Just get in touch and we'll handle it.
  • Players sharing the same IP address (e.g. multiple screens on the same office network): Unfortunately, we can't distinguish between these players, so we can't re-pair them remotely. These will need to be added back to the CMS manually.

We know the manual re-pairing isn't what anyone wants to hear, especially at scale, and we're sorry for the time this will cost you. If you have a large estate affected, reach out and we'll work through it with you.

We'll keep this post updated as the situation evolves.

Thanks for bearing with us.
