Philips Legacy App Upgrade
Overview
If your screen says the App Version is "Legacy" (in your Fusion Signage portal under Screens) you are running the very first version of our application. If you are experiencing issues with video playback or transitions, you will need to reinstall the application. Unfortunately this old version didn't have the ability to automatically update itself, but once you have the latest version of our application this won't be an issue ever again.
Before you begin
For this process you will need:
