Just Play Lite · 2026 documentation

Daylight saving time (v.2026.x)

The typical implementation of DST (Daylight Saving Time) is to set clocks forward by one hour in the spring and to set clocks back by one hour in autumn to return to standard time. This could affect your playout when working with a Timecode Source which automatically adjusts during DST changes.

To get the correct new time applied to the built-in playout engine, the Just Play Lite application has to be restarted. Please note, that by restarting the Just Play Lite application, the ongoing playout will be stopped and the playout will resume at the new time once the Just Play Lite application has restarted.

If the “Restart on drift” option is activated for this channel in the Just Control Configuration – Advanced settings, and the setting defined there is less than the DST time drift (1h), the restart will be done automatically.
