We plan to provide for more complex notifications settings. This will include mobile app notifications (not sure if it is going to be Pushover or our own app), custom email notifications, even SMS notifications.

Tomorrow, we are releasing Chrome support for Custom Widgets. Would that work for you?

Nevertheless, this is a valid request to be considered.

We have started working on this! Content transitions, either when pushing updated content or when changing content due to scheduling, will be dynamically loading, so content won’t go through that balck screen!

Stay tuned!

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

Although it sounds interesting, this feature needs refinement.

In the new version to be released this week, we do have a text Widget. You could add this text Widget to all Shows on top of all other content. You would set it to transparent background and do not type anything. Then, when ever you wanted to sent a message, you would edit the Widget, type the message, and push to all devices. But would this suffice as an “emergency broadcast”?

If you are interested in this feature, please leave more comments and discuss further.

If you want to use this for turning the beamer on/ and off, then you can create a custom power script. Whenever the “Turned Off” special Show is used, you would set the GPIO pin accordingly. Here are the details: https://www.yodeck.com/docs/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=327908

Overall, we plan to provide access to GPIO pins through Custom Widgets, so we are keeping this idea as accepted,

Yodeck has limited support for interactivity. Right now, you can build and upload HTML5 apps as Widgets, but they must not be placed as overlays in order for them to be interactive. Same goes for Web Pages.

An on-screen keyboard would be a nice addition. Given that this would require a touch screen, we would also have to implement an easy way to setup and calibrate touchscreens (can be done).

We are marking this feature as Accepted and we will see down the road how things progress.

Implementation of transitions has progressed as planned! We know that this is an important feature for all of you receiving this message, so we want to provide a quick update on this and share that we will likely make this available to all users on our next release scheduled for June 19th!

Our work is targeting to provide beautiful and butter-smooth image-to-image transitions, beside standard stuff like cross-fade, fade-through-black. If you are interested to test a beta when it is available, please reach out!

After we release that, we will then start investigating Video transitions as well, so that you can have transitions between Video and Images. But this is a whole new chapter. We will likely focus this suggestion exclusively on image-to-image transition.

Turns out that setting a solid color background or setting an image as a background is easy. We will provide this option soon.

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.

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

Currently, we have no way to know that what the users has specified can indeed be fitted on the SD card storage. Providing an easy way to add tens or hundreds of YouTube videos, would probably cause issues. But we are looking into it and we will probably provide this in the near future.

We have not made any tests with Facebook videos. We will have to look into it in more detail.

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.

We will add this, it is really useful. Check out also another feature request for a special multi-view of all screenshots in a single screen.

I guess you are talking about transition from one show to another. This will be significantly improve really soon. We are working on an improved version of the playback engine that will allow much faster transitions.

Stay tuned to see it get released!

We supported x86 until Jan 2017. Adoption was really, really low, since a) we provide the Player for free to direct customers, and b) using the Raspberry Pi saves you so much on electricity, recovering the cost of the RPi within a couple of years.

We are planning to develop soon an HTML5-based player, so this could be easily wrapped to work on x86 hardware.

Stay tuned for updates.
