New PlaySignage Features: Kiosk Mode for Raspberry Pi, Advanced Analytics, and Playlist Publishing Indicator

At PlaySignage, we continuously enhance our platform to improve usability and functionality for our users. In this update, we are introducing Kiosk Mode support for Raspberry Pi, advanced analytics for Website Plugin playback tracking, and a new visual indicator for unpublished playlist changes. Let’s dive into these exciting new features!

Kiosk Mode Support for Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi users can now take advantage of Kiosk Mode in PlaySignage. This feature allows for a seamless digital signage experience by locking the device into a single-app mode, preventing unauthorized access and distractions.

Key Benefits:

• Prevents unintended interruptions by restricting access to other apps.
• Optimized performance for running PlaySignage efficiently on Raspberry Pi.
• Ideal for unattended displays in retail, corporate, and public environments.

This update makes Raspberry Pi an even more reliable and affordable signage solution, providing users with a stable and distraction-free experience.

Enhanced Analytics – Website Plugin Playback Tracking

We have added support for storing Website Plugin playback analytics, giving users more detailed insights into how their web-based content performs within PlaySignage.

What’s New?

• Track when and how often a website-based slide plays.
• Monitor engagement trends over time.
• Improve content effectiveness by analyzing real-time playback data.

With these analytics, users can make data-driven decisions to optimize their website-based signage content, ensuring maximum engagement and efficiency.

Improved Playlist Management – Yellow Publish Button for Unpublished Changes

Keeping track of unpublished changes just got easier! The publish button now turns yellow whenever there are pending changes in a playlist.

Why This Matters?

• Visual cue for pending updates, reducing the risk of forgetting to publish.
• Helps teams collaborate better by ensuring all changes are reviewed before going live.
• Simplifies content management, especially for users managing multiple playlists.

This small yet powerful update enhances workflow efficiency, making it easier to manage and deploy content updates seamlessly.

Why These Updates Matter

With Kiosk Mode for Raspberry Pi, enhanced analytics for Website Plugin playback, and a clear publishing indicator, PlaySignage continues to refine and improve its digital signage platform. These updates empower users to create, track, and manage their signage with greater efficiency and control.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates, and as always, happy signage!
