Content can play only on certain days and at certain times

A lunch menu that should only run from 11:30am to 2pm, a promotion for weekdays, a notice for the Monday morning shift: in Anthias 2026.05.0, each piece of content can be limited to certain days of the week and a window of the day, on top of the start and end dates it already had. Content without these limits plays as before.

To set them, edit the content on the Schedule page and open "Advanced". Tick the days it should play, then fill in "Play from" and "Play until". With the default 12-hour clock in Settings, saving a time window from the web interface failed with an error until Anthias 2026.06.3; the API and the 24-hour clock weren't affected. Leave both times empty to play all day. The Schedule page marks content that's outside its window right now as "Scheduled · off-window now".

How the times work

• Times follow the player's time zone.
• "Play until" is the first minute the content is off. A window from 9:00am to 5:00pm stops at 5:00pm.
• A window that ends before it starts runs past midnight. Friday from 10:00pm to 2:00am plays on Friday night and into Saturday morning. The days you tick are the days a window starts on.
• The player checks the windows about once a minute, so content comes on and goes off within a minute of its window opening and closing.

For developers

On API v2, assets have 3 new fields. play_days is a list of weekday numbers from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday), and defaults to all 7. An empty list is rejected. play_time_from and play_time_to take a time such as 09:00:00, or null, and have to be set together. Only API v2 has these fields.
