Recommendations
- No visible buttons
We recommend that your device is free from any visible buttons, such as home or back. Pressing these may abort the playback and give someone access to the Android device. - Made for digital signage and 24/7 usage
Your device needs to be able to run 24/7 and hade some kind of heat management. Our long experience with Android devices tells us that if the device is not made with 24/7 usage in mind it will fail after some time of usage. - Ethernet connection
Most Android devices will have a wireless connection, but for connection stability and speed we recommend using a cable ethernet connection.
Please make sure that the device has options to configure the Ethernet settings, like DHCP and DNS. - Built into screen or mount options
Your device should either be built into a screen or have an option to mount it easily using VESA or provided mount. Some devices (like sticks or pucks) may cause unnecessary stress on cables or HDMI connectors and that may lead to an failure over time. - Display settings
The Android OS should offer configuration panel to help set resolution and display orientation (landscape/portrait) - Content storage
Content will be stored on the local Android device, and external SD card will not be used. So we recommend that your device has enough local storage space available - Screen saver/blank
The device needs to disable screen saving or blanking (or an option to disable). Otherwise the screen may go black / suspend during playback
Android limitations
- You cannot overlay videos on top of each other
- Forced restart - Due to limitations of resource management on some devices a restart of the Android application will happen at 04am local time.
It is possible to change the time or remove the restart if needed
