About Canvia

My Canvia is stuck on a single image - what should I do?

If you have more than one queued item, check if playback has been paused: go to your Canvia web account (https://my.canvia.art), look to the bottom of the screen and in the web controller you might see a 'paused' symbol. Click this to 'play' and revert to playing back all items in the queue. Alternatively, it's possible the playback interval has been set to a high value (e.g. days) - go to your Canvia web account (https://my.canvia.art), look to the bottom of the screen and in the web controller click on the cog icon (Settings). Find the Playback Duration section and check what has been set.



What should I do if I see this error message on-screen: "Token expired or server error...please re-register"?

Try logging out and loggin back in the Canvia mobile app while you are connected to the same wifi network. This should refresh your authentication token and re-enable access. If you are still experiencing issues, reach out to support@canvia.art and we will help.



I need to change the Wi-Fi network used by Canvia

Before you can change the registered Wi-Fi network, you must first revert Canvia to 'AP mode'. You can do this (i)via the Canvia app (while still connected to the original Wi-Fi network) or (ii) by directly on the Canvia device. (i) Select 'Settings' from the app's main menu and scroll to the bottom of the Settings screen. Select 'Set AP'. In a few moments, you should see the following message appear on your Canvia's display: 'Device is in access point mode...' (ii) "You can press 3 times(or more) within 5sec a white press button (hidden inside the hole) that is just by the side of black button. You will need the front tip of a pen to press this hidden white press-button." You can now re-connect Canvia with the new Wi-Fi network in the usual way. See canvia.art/setup for registration instructions.
