We will be gradually adding Widget. For sure, it will include social feeds.

One way to do this would be to use the Richtext Widget and paste your HTML. Right now, it is not so easy to do, but eventually it will be. Also, we do plan to provide some templates for fixed layouts (HTML templates) which you will be able to edit within the Widget. One of them could be a scheduling template.

There is also this idea: http://support.yodeck.com/forums/301815-general/suggestions/13087137-calendar-integration-ical-and-google-calendar-etc

Perhaps this is more close to the scheduling concept? Waiting for your feedback to dig in.

We are planning to provide a) sub-playlists b) random playback.

Subplaylists will be used as items in regular Playlists. Both Playlists and SubPlaylists will have the option to be played back randomly. And when you will add SubPlaylists to a Playlist, you will have the option to say “Play 3 items from this SubPlaylist” or “Play 1 hour from this SubPlaylist”.

That’s the design we currently have in mind, I think it is pretty close to final.

We already had this feature, but it did not work correctly in some browsers.

We will be implementing it in the near future.

Audio normalization could be implemented in two levels:

1) provide a volume slider in each video entry, so that you can differentiate volume per Media
2) normalize volume for all Media

Both ways are right now unknown, and we have not had enough testing to say if any of the two is feasible. As soon as we do, we will update you here.

You can change to “Folder View” and massively change duration for all your slides.

But yes, this could be useful as an option for each User.

While the initial idea of a trash bin for object is difficult to implement and has several implications, the current idea is very useful and will provide an extra level of safety for what is displayed on screen.

Also, it will eliminate the need for the automated email that are send to users leaving the “Push to Players?” button unclicked.

Supporting ICS files/URLs natively on Yodeck (and not being displayed from an online service through a Web Page) has been coming up in requests. This requires a new Widget and some serious development.

We are growing the team, and new team members coming on board will start working on new Widgets, with focus on the main social widgets and this calendar widget. These two are the most requested features so far.

Stay tuned!

This would be indeed a great addition. Currently, we have several different subsystems, so it would be good to have an overview is something is wrong or not. We will definitely need to add service status reporting, as well as maintenance/updates schedule.

We are considering adding an option to play a Playlist randomly. But this is half the story of what you described.

The other thing that you are implying is playing multiple Playlists per region. So, you can have some photos shown randomly, and then show a video. We are still designing a way to achieve that gracefully. There are three options that this could be implemented:

- Support Playlists of Playlists
- Support Playlists of Shows
- Support Multiple Playlists per region in a Show

We have not finalized the design on how this will be implemented.

Indeed, provide metadata for Media would be really useful. Besides video duration, it would be really useful to also know video resolution, FPS, download size, average bitrate, etc.

Our encoding backend has been modified to provide all of this information to the Yodeck Portal. So, this will be provided soon.

It would be really interesting to provide this feature. We will look into it and let you know.

We are looking into how we could support event-driven Show changes within the current user interface. We want to keep things simple, so this will not be easy. Most probably, we will expand the new entry form in the Schedules section to provide event checks (besides time frames).

For sure, we will work on event-triggered Show changes after a) we minimize the time required to change Shows, and b) we improve the user interface in the Schedules section to make it more intuitive. These two items are required to make sure that this new feature improves Yodeck and does not degrade overall user experience.

This is indeed in our plans. We will add support for recurrence in hours and minutes. Thank you for your suggestion!

This is due to a restriction impose by the Raspberry Pi hardware. We plan to allow soon using at least two videos. We are also conducting tests with Raspberry Pi 3 to establish the best possible solution.

We are working towards a solution that might allow 2 videos running concurrently, provided that the bitrates and resolutions are within range.

The ticker (scrolling text) Widget will support any RSS feed. We will be including a menu with many popular RSS feeds.

Support and requests for this feature is quite low, so we are freezing it for now… most users are ok with a standard 8GB SD card, while they can also get a 32GB card with lots of space.

We ahve partially completed this request. IT still remains to provide feedback on what is currently being played.
