Hi matthewcornish5 ,

 

I doubt that the problem is the tv as the tv is just the "dumb display" as you state.  So, the real question is as to why the mini pc stops updating.  Is there something else running on the pc that might affect this - a screensaver or an automatic cache reset or the userid being used has a token refresh or some other connection item that causes it to stop refreshing?

Also, is WebView 2 installed? (Troubleshoot the Power BI add-in for PowerPoint - Power BI | Microsoft Learn)

Nope. I have tried multiple different methods/machines, all eventually stop updating at some point

    Hi matthewcornish5 ,

     

    I would recommend trying the service Power BI Slider. You just have to log in with your Microsoft Power BI account. The platform will load your workspaces and reports, and finally, you will be able to set up a presentation for your report.

     

    Regarding "stop updating" you mentioned, you will be able to set up a schedule to check for data changes in the dataset.

     

    It is really useful and requires minimal configuration.
