Description

A very simple media player that can display FullHD videos as well as PNG/JPEG images.

Example usage

You can use this Package to display a bunch of images. Upload the images using the assets page. Then create a new Setup based on this Package. To do that, go to the packages page, select the HD Player Package and then click the Create Setup button. Give your new Setup a name.

The configuration screen for your new Setup allows you to specify which assets you want to play. Click the Add item Button for each Asset you want to play. In the new row that appears, select the Asset field. Delete the default value (empty.png) and select the image you previously uploaded.

When done, click save. Your Setup is now ready for your Device.

Settings

Switch Time (switch_time)

Selects the duration of the fade to black effect that happens between media files. You can choose from a set of different durations ranging from Instantly (the is no visible effect) to 0.8 seconds.

Rotation (rotation)

You can rotate the content in 90 degree increments so it plays correctly on portrait or landscape screens.

Progress indicator (progress)

Displays an optional progress indicator that allows viewers to see how long the current content will be shown on the screen.

Synchronized Start (synced)

Allows you to play one or multiple playlist synchronized accross multiple devices. If you play the same playlist or different playlists of the same total play time on multiple devices, the start time for each asset will be calculated based on the current time. Play lists with a length of (for example) 10 seconds will start at every full minute, every 10 seconds past the full minute and so on. Since every device can calculate the start time solely based on the current time and the playlist length, no network connection is required between devices.

Ken Burns effect for images (kenburns)

Uses the Ken Burns effect for all images displayed. Each image will slowly pan and zoom while it is displayed. The movement is chosen randomly from a predefined set.

Play audio (audio)

Play audio track for all video files. By default the playback is silent.
