Smart TV

Smart TV can act as a player if your TV supports a web browser and a HDMI connection. Be aware that some Smart TV browser doesn't support all HTML5 features, so you may experience some issues with video playback.

When you run the browser yourself, just use your studio url as the target url.

Host Identification configuration

To help you identify and locate your device, you can set the following metadata in url's query parameters

Example:

<STUDIO_URL>?hostname=My%20Device&icon=auto&longitude=48.8566&latitude=2.3522`

Screen Flags

bash
rotate=normal # normal, left, right, inverted
resolution=auto # 1920x1080, 1920x1080, 1920x1080, 1920x1080

Name & Icon

bash
hostname="My Device"
icon=auto # any font-awesome icon name (i.e. fa-desktop, fa-laptop, fa-tablet, fa-mobile, fa-tablet-alt, fa-mobile-alt)

Positioning

Choose one of the following options from more precise to less precise location:

1. Precise positioning

bash
longitude=
latitude=

2. Structured address-based positioning

bash
street=
city=
state=
country=
postal_code=

3. Query address-based positioning

bash
address_query= # (e.g. "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500")

Playlist configuration

Just open your web browser and either go to:

Playlist URL

To connect the player to a specific playlist using its ID
http://<STUDIO_URL>/use/<playlist_id>

Playgroup URL

To connect the player to a specific playgroup using its ID
http://<STUDIO_URL>/group/<playgroup_id>
