Interactive Playlist

Interactive Playlist

Interactive Playlists revolutionize how viewers engage with screen content. For the first time, anyone can navigate through the playlist contents at their own pace. Whether it’s pausing a dashboard, delving deeper into a video, or taking time to read a PDF document, interactive playlists put control in the hands of the viewer. This is a Premium Feature; you must be on the Premium Plan to use it.

Requirements for Interactive Playlist Setup

You’ll need a remote control, clicker, mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen to interact with your content.

  • Compatibility: We accommodate a broad range of remote controls and clickers. Ensure you have a USB receiver plugged into your Player.
  • Touchscreen: Touchscreen displays are also fully supported, allowing for great engagement with your content.

Hardware Recommendations

Interactive playlists are resource-intensive features. To ensure smooth performance, we recommend the following hardware:

  • Use a Raspberry Pi 4B with at least 4GB RAM.
  • Recent Android players with touchscreens are also compatible and provide a seamless interactive experience.
  • Set the screen settings to Full HD resolution to ensure optimal display quality. 4Κ videos are not supported.

Video Playback Guidelines

  • Use videos set to approximately 30 fps to achieve the smoothest video playback. Videos at 60 fps may not perform as well.

Raspberry Pi-Specific Limitations

  • Tickers and Transitions: Note that tickers and image transitions are currently disabled, meaning playlists will play without these visual effects.
  • Playback Reports: The system does not record playback reports for any media in the interactive playlist.
  • App Compatibility:
    • These apps are not supported in the interactive playlist:
