Transition and Playback options

Transition Options

  • Add black gap between videos
    • The transition between the two videos right now is gapless. The last video frame will be displayed on the screen to have gapless transitions between videos playing back-to-back.
    • If you like to have a 0.5s black gap between the videos, enable the above option on your playlist.
  • Image Transitions
    • You can pick more than 23 different Transition Types and, of course, control the Transition Speed as well.
    • Slow: 3-second transition
    • Medium: 2-second transition
    • Fast: 1-second transition
    • Custom: Configure how long the transition will occur from one image to another.
  • Limitations
    • We are improving the Transition feature day by day, but there are some limitations that you need to consider for now.
    • Transitions are available only between images. You cannot have transitions between images to videos or images to any other media.
    • If you decide to add a playlist to a layout, do not enable the transparency option on that layer. Transitions will not work with the transparency option enabled.
    • Transitions are not available for 4K resolution yet.

Playback Options

  • Sync Playback
    • Players under the same account can be synced and display the content on the TV screen synced and almost frame by frame.
  • Random Playback
    • Choose to enable the “Random Playback” option. This option will randomize the media on your playlist, and the player will display these media on the TV screen in random order.
  • Keep Web Pages open
    • Choose to enable the “Keep Web Pages open” option. This option will be displayed in your Playlist settings if you have at least one Web page entry on your Playlist’s filmstrip.

RAM Usage: This feature should only be used with Players based on the latest Raspberry Pi 4 board with 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB of RAM. 

  • Using this feature on Players with 1GB boards might cause Player instability and possible corruption if the memory usage is too high.

IMPORTANT: This might lead to reduced Player reliability if the memory used is too high. We recommend using Raspberry Pi 4 Players with 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB of RAM.
