AEM screens implementation errors

[ramgopalm545617]

Hello,

we are trying to implement the screens with AEM, so we want to enable network traffic through firewall.

will screens be continuously polling the content from AEM instance being an initiator and request and fetch the content? will AEM initiate any request to the screens player directly?

so the flow will be

screens player --> dispatcher --> AEM.

can someone help me with my undersatanding.

It depends on your configuration. You'll have to do a additional dispatcher configuration for AEM screens: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-screens/user-guide/administering/dispatch...

Depends on your screens configuration, it can serve cached content or make calls to AEM server to serve real-time content: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-screens/user-guide/troubleshooting/aem-sc...

Thanks for the reply, it helped me understand the Post requests sent by screens player, but will the player be always the initiator, if we use a dispatcher url in the screens player with all the appropriate configurations, will there be a situation aem has to initiate any requests to the player?
