Digital Signage Application configuration file

Configuration for:

1. The Configuration File

The configuration file is a text file that should be placed in the same directory as the software application file and should be named “conf.txt”.

Configuration file contains the below

window_width: 1280
window_height: 720
position_y: 0
position_x: 0
fullscreen: yes
screen_id: 1
stop_auto_app_start: yes
copy

window_width: The width of the application in pixels, this only works when fullscreen is set to no.

position_y: The Y position of the application in pixels, this only works when fullscreen is set to no.

position_x: The X position of the application in pixels, this only works when fullscreen is set to no.

fullscreen: Force the application to go fullscreen, ignoring width and height settings.

screen_id: Used to run multiple digital signage software instances on the same player.

stop_auto_app_start: Used to stop auto start the digital signage application if it closes for any reason.

2. How do you run the application in fullscreen mode?

To run the application in fullscreen mode, edit the conf.txt file and set the fullscreen: yes as below:

fullscreen: yes
copy

To disable fullscreen mode, set fullscreen: no as below:

fullscreen: no
copy

3. Set the digital signage to display on part of a screen

To set the application to be displayed on part of the screen, you will need to disable the fullscreen mode and use width, height, x and y configuration to position the application as below:

window_width: 800
window_height: 600
position_y: 150
position_x: 150
fullscreen: no
copy

4. Play Digital Signage Application on Two Extended Screens

To set up the application on two extended screens, disable fullscreen mode and use width, height, x, and y configuration to position the application across the two screens. Here’s an example assuming each screen is 1920x1080px.

set x and y to zero, set the width two 1920×2=3840 and the height to 1080px

window_width: 3840
window_height: 1080
position_y: 0
position_x: 0
fullscreen: no
copy

You may need to set position_y to a negative value to cover the window bar. Make sure to add the negative value to the height to extend the application to fullscreen, like this:

window_width: 3840
window_height: 1100
position_y: -20
position_x: 0
fullscreen: no
copy

5. Play Digital Signage Application on One of the two connected screens

Assuming you have two screens connected to the same player, each 1920x1080px, in the configuration below, and you want the digital signage application to play on screen 2, the configuration should be as follows:

window_width: 1920
window_height: 1080
position_y: 0
position_x: 1920
fullscreen: yes
copy

and if you want to the application to play on screen 1, just set the position_x: 0 as follows

window_width: 1920
window_height: 1080
position_y: 0
position_x: 0
fullscreen: yes
copy

6. Run the digital signage application on two screens, different content

To run different content on two or more different screens using the same player, follow the below steps:

1 – Make another copy of the application by coping the folder containing the application files as the below example:

2 – For screen 1, update screen_id to 1 and keep x at 0 pixels.

window_width: 1920
window_height: 1080
position_y: 0
position_x: 0
fullscreen: yes
screen_id:1
copy

3 – For screen 2, update screen_id to 2 and keep x at 1920 pixels.

window_width: 1920
window_height: 1080
position_y: 0
position_x: 1920
fullscreen: yes
screen_id:2
copy

4 – Run each application file separately. Both applications should run simultaneously and display two unique screen hash codes. You will need two licenses to assign both applications to your account.
