Offline playback
Digital signage that keeps playing when the internet drops.
Vewport players cache their schedule and media locally, so a screen keeps running the right content through a network outage and resyncs on its own when the connection returns — no blank "no signal" screen in front of customers.
Quick facts

- Setup
- 6-character pairing, no app install
The problem today
- Cloud-only players show a "no signal" or error screen the moment Wi-Fi hiccups — in front of customers.
- Flaky venue networks (cafés, gyms, clinics) make always-online players unreliable.
- Recovering a dropped screen often means someone physically walking over to reload it.
What Vewport does
Cached schedule playback
The player stores its current schedule and assets, so it keeps showing the right content during an outage.
Automatic resync
When the connection returns, the screen pulls the latest schedule and content on its own — no manual reload.
No "no signal" gap
Viewers never see an error screen for a transient network drop; the loop just keeps running.
Runs on commodity hardware
Because the player is a browser, the same offline behaviour works on a smart TV, a Raspberry Pi, a laptop, or a kiosk tablet.
Frequently asked
- What happens to my screens if the internet goes down?
- They keep playing the schedule and media already cached on the device, then resync automatically when the connection comes back. There is no blank "no signal" screen for a transient outage.
- Do I need special hardware for offline playback?
- No. Any browser-equipped screen works — a smart TV, Raspberry Pi, laptop, or kiosk tablet — paired with a 6-character code.
- Will the content be out of date after an outage?
- Only until the next sync. On reconnect the player fetches the current schedule and content automatically, so it self-heals without anyone visiting the screen.
- Is there a limit to how long a screen can run offline?
- A screen plays whatever schedule and media it has cached; the practical limit is the device storage and how much content the schedule references. Routine daily loops keep running through typical outages.
