Container clip for random media
It would be great to have a container item to add into playlist for play random videos. For example a container with promotional clips or ads.
The idea is to play 1 random clip and then next media in my playlist.
Example:- Logo
- General info
- Container (1 random ad from folder "my-ads")
- Product clip
- Container (1 random promo from folder "my-promos")
- ... and so on
85 votesRandom Playlist and Sub-Playlist Restrictions are here!
You can now set Random Playback for any Playlist; just go into the Playlist detail and active the Random toggle. Then, each Playlist will be played back in random order, making sure that all items are played at least once on every Playlist iteration.
We also released Restrictions for Sub-Playlists. When you add a Playlist as an item in another Playlist, then a “Options” button appears. Click it will allow you set the Max-Time and/or Max-Items. The first will define the total Playback time allow for each iteration of that Sub-Playlist, while the second will restrict the number of items played back. When using any of the two options and a Playlist is interrupted, the next playback of the Playlist will be picked up from the next item.
All three can be combined to have the effect described by the original poster of…

Show Preview
Show preview capability would be an amazing help. Right now there's no way to see a show without pushing it to a real monitor.
212 votesAt last, the Show Preview is available on our production site! You can now a) see a preview version of Widgets working right inside the Show Editor, b) see how transparency looks like with Images and Widgets, c) preview/edit the Show in fullscreen mode! All these three changes provide for a much easier editing/previewing experience!
Within the next couple of months, we investigate expanding it to also provide some form of Video/Playlist playback in the browser. Either we do implement this final step or not, this will be publicly available on our next release scheduled for September 27th!

Allow for a custom logo at boot
When the device is booting, it would be great if we could put our own company logo up, maybe with a small "powered by Yodeck" watermark in the corner. That way we can brand our screens during a boot and comply with company CI.
2 votesWe do have the capability to change this to a custom logo. We allow our reselling Partners to change this logo to anything they want.
We have not published this as a user-accessible option. You see, it is a matter of branding and promotion as well for us too.
We do change the logo for paying customers on a per-case basis. Feel free to reach out to our support team with a request so that we can evaluate your case.

I suggest a simple weather widget that could be used on our displays. Nothing fancy - just the current weather and perhaps the next 5 days?

Provide transition effects
Would like ability to do basic effects like crossfades between images in a playlist. I can do this by making a video of slides and that works great, but a feature like this would be better.
225 votesAll users now have beautiful and butter-smooth image-to-image transitions! Transitions work amazingly well in 1080p, but also work fine in 4K. Enjoy!
We will start investigating Video transitions as well down the road, so that you can have transitions between Video and Images. But this is a whole new chapter!

Add Support for Video Walls
Please consider providing video wall support. 2x2 would be sufficient for our needs. Thanks!
13 votesVideo-Wall with Yodeck are now possible! Here are the full instructions on how to set it up with Yodeck:
https://www.yodeck.com/docs/display/YO/Creating+a+Video-Wall+with+Yodeck
You use X+1 Players for supporting X number of screens (in any orientation or relative position, even asymmetric layouts) . The output of the “master” Player is connected to an HDMI-to-RTP device (LKV373A recommended), and all other Players will reproduce their respective part of the output.
We will soon add an easier way to setup the Video-Wall that will need much less configuration and fuss.

Ability to add Live TV
Perhaps could be done thru a HDMI to USB Input Device installed on the Player.
19 votesYou can now use a Lenkeng LKV373A sender device to act as an HDMI-in port for your Players.
Read more here: https://www.yodeck.com/news/any-hdmi-device-asvideo-infor-yodeck/
In the future, we might also be adding support USB DVB-T Tuners, depending on your how much this is requested by our users.

Ability to render more advanced web content.
We have a number of websites that we want to display. Many of these are unable to be rendered using the Yodeck player but they render fine using a normal browser. Good example below:
16 votesWe now support Chromium as a secondary Web rendering engine! It is faster than our standard web viewer and can optionally provide limited support for Flash.
Only restriction is that Chromium cannot be rendered on top of video Playlists or other overlays. We plan to change that really soon. We issued a new suggestion for those of you that want to be updated on that: http://support.yodeck.com/forums/301815-general/suggestions/19400362-ability-to-overlay-chromium-and-pdf-on-top-of-vide
Keep in mind that Chromium is much heavier and resource-hungry than standard Web Viewer. You should always try the standard web viewer first, if possible. Having multiple Playlist on screen using Chromium can place a lot of load on your Player and can cause trouble in the long-run.

Weekday Filter
Make it easier to schedule certain times for the entire week/month/year by giving a weekday filter, which would apply the playlist/item you are wanting to schedule to certain days of the week (IE, Mon-Fri/Mon-Sat)
Would also work for hours, for example, if I want to play a "Happy Hour Specials" playlist between 14:00-16:00 Tues-Thurs, I would only have to enter it once to perform such task.15 votesThe “Repeat: Daily” option now provides for 7 checkboxes, one for each day of the week.
Enjoy!

Local or internal web page resolution
Please can you let Players resolve internal network addresses so that we can display local web pages. At the moment we can only display web facing pages. E.g. local DNS setting
3 votesSorry for the late notification. We have released an option that allows you to deactive the standard Google DNS servers we use by default. This way, only the internal DNS servers on your network will be used.
