X86 Support
X86 Support
1 voteWe 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.

Support video with an alpha channel (transparency) so that one video can frame some other content
I want to be able to use one video with an alpha channel as a "frame" and overlay it on top of another video that is the main focus.
For now, I'm simply layering the one video on top of the other, but that means that there are really hard edges at the edge of the video.
6 votesFirst, we are planning to support multiple videos playback (a whole different request).
Now, concerning alpha-channel in videos, I think this is a firmware issue of the Raspberry Pi. Thee is a way to have a mask, but again no alpha channel beyond that mask.

Event-Date
I use Yodeck to show upcoming events. The TVs are showing the eventflyers with date on the flyer.
I would like to make flyers without date and set the date in the yodeck-app, so it is displayed together with the flyer. And when date is over, it is not shown in playlist anymore or is shown with the next date set for that event.
That would be a nice upgrade.
1 voteThere is a way to do that already with image-based flyers. To do this, you will be using 3 features:
1) Yodeck in-app image editing with layers
2) Expiration dates for Media
3) [optionally] Tag-based Playlists (available in Pro Plan)So, try doing the following:
- Upload your flyers as images
- Edit your flyer using the Pixie editor (in-app editor) and add the date as a text layer, and save
- Add the valid period for the event as starting/expiring dates in the Image details
- Add a Tag named EventFlyers
- Say a flyer is for a recurring event. You can duplicate this Media (click the duplicate button), edit the date text using Pixie with the new dates, and again enter them in the starting/expiring date. Make sure the Tag EventFlyers is still there.
- Create a Tag-based Playlist that uses all Media with the EventFlyers Tag.

Playlist: import only the files that are not yet present, to avoid duplications.
You can select all the files in a folder and import. But when you add a lot of files to a folder and you want to add only those in the playlist it becomes laborious to look for them one by one.
6 votesWe have released a new feature called Tag Playlists. You assign Media with Tags and then you can create dynamic Playlists using combinations of Media Tags. Then, when you upload a Media, you also add the required Tags, so that they get pulled into the Tag Playlists.
That might work in your case.
In the long run, we are also planning to provide Folder-based Playlists, so that all Media in the specific Folders are automatically included in a Playlist.

Auto-push when changes are released from the queue.
Mark changes to be pushed when done rendering. It sometimes takes hours for changes to make it through the queue and be ready to push. I'd like an option to have changes automatically push when ready.
4 votesMakes perfect sense, we will add it in a future release.

Chinese character?
are u support Chinese (simplified) in ticker?
1 voteYes, we do support Chinese (and other) character sets. By default, we have not included Chinese support because the fonts are really big and would use too much storage on the SD card.
If you need Chinese, please contact us and we will set up Chinese fonts in your Players.
Eventually, we do plan to include support for all characters. We will be changing the ticker rendering code to support HTML, so all fonts will be eventually supported with the best possible way.

Facebook Live Stream
Integrate services with Facebook Live.
1 voteIt is difficult to support Facebook Live Streams. Under the hood, we are using livestreamer, so this software does not yet support Facebook live.
Here is the feature request for livestreamer:
https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/issues/1259
If they add it, we will update and it will be supported as well.

Ability to adjust the black gap time been slides.
I find the black gap between videos or images is too short. I've been adding in 2 second black slides to help but it would be nice if we could customize the length of time between for the black gap instead of only having it preset.
1 voteThe duration of the black gap is not entirely under our control right now. Your request is reasonable though.
We are planning a major internal change to the Player’s software that will allow us finer control of the playback procedure. I will leave this request open so that I can update it if we get any update from the dev team if it is feasible or not.

Auto-import of UI JSON schema
To simplify widget installation, it would be nice if the back-end could look for a json file (maybe ui.json or schema.json) in the widget's zip file, and import it automatically into the UI configuration area if it exists.
1 voteSounds reasonable, but it is difficult to implement this feature now. Uploaded zip packages are delivered directly to our cloud storage, not going through the application server. We would have to extract the JSON UI Schema file from the package. And this would also have other workflow issues (what happens if it is broken, etc).
I am leaving this feature here to see what traction it gets from other users.

Style Ticker with css
The ability to style ticker (expecially rss one) with Css. Also including Google Font through css
6 votesRight now, the ticker is generated via a Python drawing library and the images are scrolled using the GPU. We plan to change this to HTML-based drawing of the ticker. We could then add an option for providing custom CSS styling for the text. I guess this should work fine for you.

Playlist "currently playing" and countdown
show screen number when playing items in playlist, now showing n of x , and possibly a timer couting down to next item.
2 votesShowing Playlist-level and item-level progress could be useful. Although not a high-priority, we will be adding this.
We are also adding native PDF support shortly, so this will be beneficial in case of text content.

This feature request has several implications.
First of all, it has little to do with CEC. The same request could be asking for USB IR remotes (which are internally handled by Linux as keyboard presses).
Right now, our playback engine is fully automated. This means that, you cannot affect the playback status of a playlist (move forward, backwards, etc). But, we plan to refactor the Player shortly to allow for different Playlist management.
So, while this is not a core-feature to add, it will probably be possible to add it via a Custom Widget. So, we will leave it here to check it out when the time comes.

Display a conference schedule.
Will you have a widget to display a conference schedule / agenda., eg. Speaker Jones, Room 20 @ 1pm.. etc?
7 votesOne 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.

Default Slide Time Option
Hey there,
I wouldn't mind being able to change the default slide time for when you add new slides. Rather than having to change it from 5 secs each time. Cheers!3 votesYou 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.

yodeck.com site status report - for known acute issues with the site
Some location on Yodeck.com that describes the current acute problem(s) with the site and to the extent possible and indication that the problem(s) are being worked on.
This would avoid the need to continually bug support staff to report the same problem because it isn't yet fixed, etc.
7 votesWe are planning to provide a status page soon that will include a status reports on all service components and cloud vendors that we are using.

Length of Video Media
Would be nice to see the length of a video from the folder view.
5 votesIndeed, 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.

Good evening
I'm Friars Simon, I apologize for the automatic google translation,
I wanted to thank you because your system is complete and reliable and gives people the opportunity to start a new business!
however I wanted to ask you two questions:
1) if it was possible in the new entry schedules to add more possibilities of schedules to the same entry, in order to program more events from the same schedules without having to make a new card each time
2) another interesting change would be inserting the loop as options of the new entry schedules, being able to…0 votes -
IFTTT
It is very difficult to find a reasonably priced signage solution with IFTTT capabilities. Most are only offered in expensive enterprise suites, if at all. I would like our sign to change the playlist when a web button (interactive wifi button) is pushed, or when the office alarm is armed (Ring) to show after-hours messages.
