What value did you enter at the “Countdown Target” field?

I’ve tested just now with “2020-05-01 00:00:00” and the display correctly shows “677h 16m”

I’m not entirely sure I understand what you did so far and what exactly you’re trying to achieve. I feel like you want to display a page for 10 minutes and create a countdown based on the remaining time for those 10 minutes? If so, that’s not possible. If I misunderstood that, can you mail the url of your setup to [support](https://info-beamer.com/contact)?
