Fault detection and correction for single and multiple media players connected to electronic displays, and related devices, methods and systems

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions to configure a processor to perform operations comprising:

• monitoring a plurality of media players connected in a network, each of the plurality of media players being connected to output a digital signal to at least one of a plurality of electronic displays, each of the plurality of electronic displays having at least two alternately selectable inputs to receive the digital signal;
• detecting a fault associated with one of the plurality of media players that affects a corresponding electronic display;
• and
• switching the at least two alternately selectable inputs of the corresponding electronic display to one of the plurality of media players connected in the network that is not associated with the fault.

A method comprising:

• monitoring a plurality of media players connected in a network, each of the plurality of media players being connected to output a digital signal to at least one of a plurality of electronic displays;
• duplicating data received by each of the plurality of media players to a local storage device;
• polling each of the plurality of media players at predetermined intervals for a response;
• activating a fault correction state if no response is received from one of the plurality of media players;
• and
• playing the duplicated data for the media player from which no response was received at the electronic display connected to the media player.
