Fine-grained Access Control – Players
Let’s say your company operates in various locations and/or its departments have different responsibilities managing your digital signage content. Wouldn’t it be really useful for your organization to have different levels of access control in our platform? Think of a bank with offices spread around the world, for example. Taking that into consideration, we’ve implemented some features that allow you to delegate control over your players and campaigns to other users. Now it’s

Did you hear it? Audio Track is now available for OnSign TV!
Ever wanted to play some background music, announce the lottery numbers for everyone or even play your national anthem while playing your campaigns? That used to be hard, as OnSign TV didn’t have support for playing music on campaigns. It USED to, because now that’s very simple indeed! But how? Don’t worry, we will show you. To use it you need first a few audio files. Go to the files section and upload MP3 audio files at will. Once the upload is finished go to the campaigns s

Even Easier Campaign Creation with New Timeline Editor!
Our focus when we started OnSign TV was to make campaign creation as easy as possible. We tried to make something intuitive, that could be controlled with drag-and-drop operations, right in your browser. But some details on the original implementation – such 30-item limit per timeline – fell a little short on our ideals. We worked hard to remove those limitations and push the boundaries of what’s possible to do in the browser. Now we have something really special: OnSignTV’s

OnSign TV Feature Update!
We’ve been very busy in the last few months, adding quite a few features requested by a lot of our customers and in the next few days I’ll be showcasing them here at Inside OnSign TV! The first new feature – and also the most requested – we’ve added was HTML5 Widgets! One of the best things about making them in HTML5 is you get to preview all of them right in your browser. Those previews are live, and represent what they will look like in your device. You can even resize the

Monthly Player Graphs Now Available!
Our goal at OnSign TV is keeping you informed about what is going on with your players. Since launch we’ve been keeping player statistics, such as network and CPU usage, for up to a month, even though we only displayed the last 24 hours. Well, not anymore! Now you can see how your player has been doing for the past day, week, or month. As a bonus, you get to identify when your player is turned off by watching for gaps in the graph. Happy monitoring!

Reorder Your Campaigns at OnSign TV!
We are happy to announce campaign reordering: a feature long requested by our users. It allows you to precisely determine the order by which your campaigns will be played back by the OnSign TV Player. How does this work? When a player receives a campaign list it will play them in the specified order, the same order you see at OnSign TV. If a specific rule blocks a campaign from playing, then the next campaign in order will be played. In order to use this feature, you have to

New Player Status Page at OnSign TV!
We just went live with a redesign of Player Status page. It is now possible to see at a glance the latest played campaign, the number of errors in the previous 24 hours, whether your players are online and in sync with OnSign TV. But what is online? The player can be playing everything and some routing issue could be temporarily blocking it from reaching onsign.tv. After some discussion we settled that a player is online if it has contacted OnSign TV in the last two minutes.

New Feature: Create Your Own Layouts at OnSign TV!
We understand that having a set of layouts ready to be chosen at your will is very helpful, but sometimes there’s nothing like creating a layout by yourself, right? With that in mind, we are glad to announce that now you can create your own layouts at OnSign TV! When you choose to create or edit a campaign, you get to the campaign page that you already know, but notice that now you also have a button entitled Add Custom Layout. When you click it, you are able to add a new lay

A New OnSign TV Player is Available! Now Extra Secure!
Grab our latest and most secure version from the Google Play Store! One thing we are obsessed with at OnSign TV is security. We want your information to be secure and private. Your data is your data! And others shouldn’t be able to see it or impersonate you in any way. Since many customers are using OnSign TV through insecure Wi-Fi networks – where the Player authorization password can be easily picked – we worked hard to implement security right. That’s why this new version
