Screens keep playing even when a settings screen is left open

A screen should always be showing what you scheduled for it. That’s the whole point of it being there, and it matters most on screens your customers and visitors see.

Until now, one moment at a player could break that. Someone checks the network settings or the help screen, gets called away, and the screen stays on it: everyone in the room sees a settings page where your content should be, until someone comes back with a keyboard.

From ScreenlyOS 26.6.0, the network settings, help, diagnostics, and device information screens close by themselves after 3 minutes without a keypress, and the screen goes straight back to its content. Nobody has to remember, and nobody has to go back to the screen to fix it.
