  • How many schedules are in a group.
    larsnormarkL larsnormark

    Hi,

    Go to Groups and Schedules, on the right side (by each group) you see how manu schedules that are added to the individual group. For example, if you have 3 schedules it will say "3 Schedules", and if you have no schedules, it will say "Add schedule". (See attached)

  • Samsung Tizen firmware S-KSU2EWWC-1100.8 bug
    larsnormarkL larsnormark

    @simplyjourneymen This is a known issue, but worry not 🙂 The most likely reason is that HDMI-CEC (called Anynet+) is enabled on your TV, then this feature automatically switches to a new source if it powers on or is plugged in. Check out this guide; https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshoot/TSG10002314/

  • The website in my website plugin is not showing?
    larsnormarkL larsnormark

    Depending on the player you are using, the website in digital signage is embedded differently:

    iframe for Web Preview / Samsung Tizen / LG WebOS players
    webview for Chrome / Windows / Mac / Linux (Raspberry Pi) / Android (Amazon FireTV)

    This is due to how HTML5 works. Iframe runs in a ‘sandbox’ as part of the browser window, whereas webview functions as a separate browser window. If the website you are trying to embed returns X-Frame-Options DENY/SAMEORIGIN header, the page cannot be displayed in an iframe because the website owner has forbidden it. However, the page is still rendered on our players that use webview instead.

    in your case I see the website publisher has blocked iframe's, so two options:

    You can contact the website maintainer or developer and ask them to lift the restriction.
    You can use a player that displays the websites in a webview (see above) to bypass the restriction."

  • Can I pause audio for some slides that have videos?
    larsnormarkL larsnormark

    Hi Jojo,

    We actually have a feature where you can pause music in individual slides, check out this article; https://playsignage.com/support/playlists/#background-music, and in our FAQ, this;

    "Can I pause the audio for some slides that have videos?
    Yes, once you have added some background soundtracks, there is an additional option available in the slide settings. To find this setting open the slide for which you want to pause the music. Open slide settings (the page where you’d change slide duration) and click on the “Advanced” section."

  • Team ownership
    larsnormarkL larsnormark

    Hi,

    We call it "transfer ownership", check out this article; https://playsignage.com/support/transfer-ownership/

    However, this would require you to have access to the current owner's e-mail so that you could reset the password and log in as that person.

    If that's not the case, you're going to have to send an e-mail to [email protected] asking for the team's owner to be transferred to XYZ. We might ask for verification when you do this.

    For your second question, the answer is no, but you can have multiple SUPERADMIN members on your team. Check out this article; https://playsignage.com/support/teams/#how-it-works

  • Can digital signage be used for interactive purposes?
    larsnormarkL larsnormark

    Yes. By going to settings under your screen and toggle on Optimize for Touchscreen you're preparing the media player for touch. Having done that comes the hard part 🙂 Now you gotta create your content. There is a guide here: https://playsignage.com/support/touch/, but the general idea is that you can add touch areas everywhere in your content to move between slides. Try it out, you'll find out it's very easy working with touch in our editor.
