The Android sign player supports 2 daily reboots for the Android SignagePlayer App. A daily reboot comes handy if you are running a heavy presentation and wish to clear all memory and CPU buffers every X number of hours. For example, if your business is open from 9AM in the morning to 7PM in the […]

No Audio in Android Player but plays fine in Desktop Player
My Campaign plays the FLV file fine from the desktop player but no sounds are coming out from it when I used it with the Android version. For audio to work on the android player the FLV file should be encoded using mp3 audio. Please see screenshot below for more details. Note:: Due to […]
My presentation freezes after a while, what could cause this?
There are several reasons why a presentation could freeze including an overloaded CPU, Video running with improper audio encoding or a swf that leaks memory. However, you should know that if the presentation freezes for any reason, the SignageController will detect this and restart the presentation within 2.5 minutes. If a presentation freezes it will […]
It take a long time to download the presentation, why is that?
The DROID ZX Player can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. If you use Ethernet (Ethernet dongle sold separately) you will enjoy extremely fast download times. However, Wi-Fi connection requires a good nearby wireless hotspot to operate smoothly. If your Wi-Fi connection is slow, we highly recommend that you get the Ethernet dongle […]
I uploaded a video but I get no sound, how can I fix it?
The DROID ZX Player is installed with an MP3 encoder, so encode your videos with MP3 and not AAC, so you can hear the audio over the HDMI port.
I turned the device on and all I see is ‘Checking internet connection’, now what?
The first thing you should do is connect a mouse. Next, RIGHT click the mouse button two times to go back to the Home Screen. Next select Apps > Settings and configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet networking. Now reboot the device and Register the SignagePlayer to the FuneralScreenCLOUD.
I ran a presentation and now I get a message of ‘App is not responding’, why is that?
The DROID ZX Player is a low end device and should be treated as such. If you overload your presentation the CPU will be too busy to respond to the OS broadcast messages and Controller pings and the ANR (Android not responding) message will remain on the screen indefinitely, until the device is power cycled. […]
I imported some of the premade scenes but they don’t look right, why?
Most of the pre-made scenes in the SignageStudio were created for a resolution of 1920×1080. For a perfect fit, scale down the imported scenes to 1280×720. Be sure to move the resources around the scene to position everything according to the new resolution.
I dont understand how to navigate the Android sign player ?
You can use a standard USB mouse to make selections. Use the left mouse button to select and the right mouse button to go back to a previous screen. If you connect only a mouse you will need to use the virtual keyboard to type. Alternatively you may connect a USB hub and connect to […]
I created HD content but it scales down, how can this be fixed?
The DROID ZX Player always outputs at 1280×720 and so content (especially bitmap images) should be created for that size to avoid pixilation and content skewing.
