Hello everyone,

I am trying to create an API to download new content into MagicInfo.

Overall, everything works fine. I can add content from a folder, edit playlists, and broadcast them on my screens. My only problem is the display time, which is set to 5 seconds by default. I can't see any options to change this default time. I tried to force it by inserting the entire configuration from my API, but it didn't work. Can anyone take a look and tell me how to modify my program, or if there is a configuration file I can modify to change this default time?

Thanks in advance and have a great day.

Code : with powershell

Hi Pepijn,

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately webauthor.web_url is already set with localhost.
So i've tried the opposite with IP address but no luck ...

Best Regards,

Same issue here. Did anyone found a solution ?

Hi Community
i wrote some powershell scripts for monitoring MagicInfo (Version 8 but i guess they work on Version 9 as well) on Paessler PRTG Monitoring Server.
The Powershell scripts connect to the API on MagicInfo.

You can find them here
https://github.com/limpleg/PRTG-SamsungMagicInfo-Powershells

What i note is, that when i monitor a lot of device through the API in a 10 minute interval, after 2 days the MagicInfo Server Web Service stopped working. Any advice on this?
Is there a Logout method of the API Key or something like that? In Swagger, i didn't find any information about that...

Hi everyone,

I'm encountering an error within the Device Health section of MagicInfo9 and was hoping someone might have some insight. The error message I'm seeing is:

SH90801 [Contents Download] Internal Server Error

Has anyone else experienced this before? Does anyone know what might be causing this "Internal Server Error" specifically in the context of content downloads?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
