Upon the first launch of just:connect a new preference pane called ToolsOnAir Preferences will be installed. This preference pane contains Stay Alive and can be used to automatically start or restart (i.e. “keep alive”) Just Out and Just Connect. This helps ensuring to ensure that interruptions to your playout are kept to an absolute minimum.

...

Warning

  • Make sure that applications you are going to activate in Stay Alive are quitted the moment you activate them. Activating an already started application will start a second instance of it, which may cause issues.

  • Make sure that the macOS option to Reopen reopen windows when logging back in is DEACTIVATED in the Restart and Shut down options of the Apple menu.

  • Make sure that the applications are not started automatically using the “Login Items” functionality of the system preference pane “Users & Groups”.

...

When a volume or folder is specified in the Required Path section, the respective application will only be started when the specified volume/folder is mounted/present. This may be useful if you have a NAS, SAN or other types of file systems that must be mounted during system startup that may take some additional time before they are available.

In this case, it is important not to start any ToolsOnAir applications that may rely on data from these file systems until the volume is available. By specifying such volumes in Stay Alive you can make sure that any ToolsOnAir applications are not started until the relevant volume/file system is available.

Info

  • We recommend restarting Just Connect from time to time and to restart Just Out once per week.

  • Restarting Just Connect will not interrupt the play out, but will close all user interfaces which are connected to one of the channels administrated by this Just Connect

  • Restarting Just Out will interrupt the play out for a few seconds. Use Tools On Air's failover control and a redundant engine for continuous playout even while restarting the primary playout engine.
