Some things must be said on every slide: the Wi-Fi name, a visitor notice, today's promotion. A message bar carries one or more rotating texts along the bottom of every slide in a playlist, on top of images, videos and widgets, in your size, colours and background opacity.
Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month. Plugin version v1.3.
One message or several in turn.
Images, videos and widgets keep playing; the bar sits on top.
Size, colours and background opacity.
Attach a bar to the playlists that need it; the reception and the workshop can carry different lines.
In the Messages plugin add one or more texts and set the styling.
From the Widget tab under Message bar.
The bar shows along the bottom of every slide in that playlist.
A core widget: nothing to connect and no account behind it. Settings live in your TVpilot account and the widget keeps its last data on the device for at least a day, so a screen that restarts during an outage still shows something useful.
TVpilot turns the hardware you have into a managed screen: a Raspberry Pi with one command, a Fire TV Stick or Android TV, or simply the browser of a smart TV. One player URL per screen, managed from the dashboard.
Every plugin is included in every plan. You pay for screens, not for integrations.
Start on the free plan and stay there as long as you like. No credit card, no trial clock.
Edit the bar when the message changes; every playlist that carries it follows. For time-bound slides use the playlist schedule.
The message bar carries your own texts. The news ticker scrolls headlines from a feed. Both run under every slide.
The bar sits along the bottom edge. Keep important content out of that strip, or give the bar a lower opacity.
Add a message bar with rotating announcements along the bottom of every slide in a playlist: house rules, visitor notices, promotions. Your colours, size and opacity. Included in every plan.
