Clip Playlist Playback Modes: Complete vs Sequential

Playback modes define how clips inside a clip playlist are played during each loop of a playlist.

Available with:
Windows Player: Pro, Premium
Web Player: Pro, Premium
LG webOS Signage Player: Pro, Premium
Samsung SMART Signage Platform (SSSP / Tizen) Player: Pro, Premium
BrightSign Player: Pro, Premium

Note: Playback modes are only available for clip playlists, not for regular playlists directly attached to screen layout zones.

If you are using a regular playlist attached directly to a screen layout, the playback behaviour is fixed and uses the Complete (all clips each loop) mode as describe below.

If you are not familiar with clip playlists, refer to this article: How to add a playlist to another playlist

Available playback modes

There are two playback modes for clip playlists:

Playback mode

1. Complete (all clips each loop)

In Complete mode, all clips inside the clip playlist are played every time the playlist loops, before moving on to the next item.

Example:

  • Clip: Image
  • Clip: Weather
  • Clip playlist (contains 10 clips)
  • Clip: RSS

On each loop, playback will be:

  • Image
  • Weather
  • All 10 clips from the clip playlist
  • RSS

The full clip playlist is always played from start to end on every loop.


2. Sequential (one clip per loop)

In Sequential mode, only one clip from the clip playlist is played per loop. The next clip is played on the following loop.

Example:

  • Clip: Image
  • Clip: Weather
  • Clip playlist (contains 10 clips)
  • Clip: RSS

Playback behaviour:

  • First loop: Image → Weather → Clip 1 → RSS
  • Second loop: Image → Weather → Clip 2 → RSS
  • Third loop: Image → Weather → Clip 3 → RSS
  • And so on, until all clips inside the clip have been played.

This mode is useful for rotating content progressively without extending the duration of each loop.
