Display and services
Under Display & services you restart only parts, without restarting the whole box. That is the quicker way if the display shows an old page or has hung.
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Restart display | Chromium restarts (a few seconds black). Playback continues |
| Restart player | Spotify and local playback restart. Whatever is playing stops |
| Restart services | the box's player and server. The app is briefly unreachable |
| Apply settings | writes all settings to the services again and restarts the display |
How the box switches off
A box can go off in several ways: with the app, with the on/off button, with the sleep timer, automatically after a long silence and when the battery is empty. In every case the same happens: playback stops, the display shows the goodbye picture, a sound plays, the services shut down.
If the box does not go off and hangs, The box hangs when shutting down helps.
