Flipclock

Adding flipclock via web plugin http://flipclockjs.com/

Dashboard

Users should be able to add dashboard features to the dashboard – Activity in the team (Related to logs), Screen online / offline, Latest firmware and release notes, Notification center (Related to future to come notification center), Did you know that ****

As discussed on team meeting we need to investigate rather or not we should and/or can offer users to stream video.

Adding player functionality for Samsung SmartTV

Adding social media plugins for Business: LinkedIn

This one is not very important – It’s easy to find files and it’s limited what a user can do with files. The current need and/or use-case is deleting or finding, so perhaps we should add a search functionality instead of listview ??

Some of our bigger customers have, over time, been asking for alternative views to offer more overview – This would involve creating a whole new view, with less information and multiple columns and rows.

Not, that many customers ask for it, but one did ask if we could do a “pause” – They use screens only half of the year, and have to delete, add them .. Perhaps we could easily pause screens under some conditions.

Some customers use way too big images in their playlists, these are re-sized down to 4k, but often times the 4k image is used in full HD player or even if the user uploads a full HD file and is using it only in a small region in the screen, the large image takes up player’s resources.

Add emojis to editor.

The customer is a retail shop selling clothes. From time to time the store manager needs to advertise special offers or display warnings on all screens. User a slide in a playlist marks it as “Flash” and enters a slide name like “Special offer 1”. The user can add the slide to slidestash and use it in other playlists if needed. When the user wants one or multiple flash slides displayed on his screens he can easily activate them either from his phone or tablet.

Adding player functionality for LG SmartTV

User can choose any Facebook page likes (Like the flip clock)

A simpler way to move screens between groups – This is for those with many groups and the need to move them around (Not that many when their signage network has been set up and is in play).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Alerting_Protocol

Lars proposed an idea where we could use the progress bar to indicate slide progress.

When having many playlists customer is having trouble managing them – In this case, the customer has 7 screens where 20 advertisers are on all 7 screens … so its like 140 playlists. The customer would instead be able to create a group called “Screen 1” where he/she would add 20 playlists.

As a security-conscious account administrator, I would like to see the log of important events and who triggered them. You can see this feature in action in systems like DigitalOcean, AWS, gitlab and many more.

The player should skip a slide containing online elements like youtube and website if the internet connection is lost.
