Startup Duration Not Set

If you use startup content without specifying a duration and the content engine does not support end detection there is no way for TVS to determine when the content ends so the startup content would play indefinitely and the TV would never load without manual intervention.

The following content engines support end detection:

This means that they can inform TVS when they’re done playing, so don’t need a manually set duration when called using startup settings.

If you’d prefer to force the user to interact with the tuner to disable the start screen, you can set the duration to 0 and the content will play until interrupted whenever the startup content is programmed to come on. You might want to do this if your content should stay at some sort of “title screen” where you’d want the user to interact with the content.
