Under Group, you can add a playlist & schedule for a duration, or on particular week days/dates or a time duration in a day. Is something else you are talking about?

wow, this is awesome.
but I have not seen this in the local hosting server.
I have just installed it, so I am visiting it via my local ip address.

Please could you assist on how to go about it?

from pisignage.

Hi,
Which local hosting server your referring to ?
Is it a) Open source server(port 3000) OR b) raspberry pi interface server(port 8000)?

from pisignage.

raspberry port 8000

Hi,
Local player interface doesn't include this feature. For that you need to use either

1. https://pisignage.com/lp/
   OR
2. https://github.com/colloqi/pisignage-server

from pisignage.

hi navan,
thank you for your prompt response, I had seen this link and i read the info there, but there was no HOWTO as regards raspberry being used, ubuntu and others were listed.
So i wanna know, if pi can be used as the server as well as the player?
if yes, installation procedure is highly appreciated.
thank you

from pisignage.

Hi,
Currently the open source server depends on other tools which require processing power. Since Raspberry pi is not designed to handle such processing, Open source pisignage-server can't be hosted and it needs x86 hardware.

from pisignage.

Hi,

Appreciated, creating Ubuntu server right now to handle that.

shall report back here

from pisignage.

ok

error "txxxxn@signage:~/pisignage-server$ sudo node server.js

from pisignage.

1. Which type of system you use ? (windows,mac,linux)
2. enter node -v in terminal, the command should return the the nodejs version.
3. Please check env and path variable, These params should contain reference to nodejs source.
4. How did you install nodejs?

from pisignage.

ubuntu 16.04 ---linux

from pisignage.

ok, how did you install Nodejs ?

from pisignage.

Thank you.

from pisignage.

relative(at the same level) to pisignage-server create media folder. In order to store screenshots/thumbnails create a _thumbnails directory inside media directory.

from pisignage.

ok,
done,

please can u guide on how to register my pi player on my local server?

thank u in advance

from pisignage.

There is no registration involved. Either connecting usb keyboard(press Ctrl+n) to player OR http://< raspbery-pi-IP>:8000/settings change server to < your-server-address >:3000

from pisignage.

Hi Navan,

thank you so much

from pisignage.

Hi
In line with your last post, I am unable to connect to my local server pisignage with my pi player.
what is it i have not done correctly?

from pisignage.

which step did you follow?

from pisignage.

connecting usb keyboard(press Ctrl+n)

from pisignage.

Is there a config file that i have to change the default 8000 port to 3000?

from pisignage.

Press Ctrl+n and select Config server option, Change the the existing one with < your-pc-ip-address > :3000 and select ok

from pisignage.

1.8000 is local port of player which need not be changed
2.it connects to local server over port 3000, so not changes needed
3. Just make sure under player settings server address is given for e.g. as 192.168.1.10:3000 where 192.168.1.10 is the server address
4. If still not connecting, see the log file /home/pi/forever_out.log which should say why it is not connecting

from pisignage.

hi,

ok

i will try it once i am back

thank you

from pisignage.

hello

I have done it and it is working great.

thank you.

issue encountered
It does not start running at boot, i mean the server.js file

from pisignage.

In ubuntu either you can enter and command in ~/.bash_profile OR ~/.bashrc OR create a service file/ init script . So that your Nodejs open source server is live when system boots.

thank you done
