Troubleshooting
A screen went black
- Check
/reliabilityin the dashboard. If the device shows red, the TV isn't reaching our servers — usually a network issue or the TV is asleep. - Wake the TV (HDMI source change, remote button) and wait 30 seconds.
- If still black, force-quit and reopen the TVMenus app on the TV.
- Last resort: unplug power for 30 seconds and plug back in.
A menu update didn't show up
- Confirm the menu is assigned to the TV (the "Currently playing" dropdown
under
/sites). - Wait 30 seconds — the TV polls for new manifests on an interval.
- If still stale, the device's status badge in the editor will tell you when the last successful sync was.
I can't log in

The dashboard says "This page couldn't load"
Refresh once. It's almost always a transient client-side fetch race on cold mount. If it persists across multiple refreshes, let us know with the URL and any browser-console errors.
