Everyone easily understands the concept of a playlist for digital signage: each item is played one after the other. However, Disign offers a more advanced approach with streamed playlists, which can transform your content management.

What is a streamed playlist?

Unlike traditional playlists, streamed playlists are designed to play only the items you choose, in an intelligent manner. For example, if you want to play all the videos from a Google Drive folder, you use a streamed playlist. The duration of the playlist depends on the content of the folder, offering unparalleled flexibility.

Streamed playlists automatically adjust with each synchronization, allowing remote content updates without manual intervention. Think of it as a linear TV channel with an indefinite duration, where programs continuously follow one another.

How to configure your streamed playlists

With Disign, you can customize the behavior of streamed playlists with several options:

• Scroll through all items: Continuously display each item from the folder.
• Limit the number of displayed items: For instance, show only two items at a time.
• Set a fixed display time: Useful for image collections or RSS feeds, where you want information to change every 10 seconds.
• Set a total duration: Specify the total duration for which the items will be displayed.

Visual indicators for better management

To avoid confusion, Disign uses visual indicators to signal streamed components. When you use a streamed playlist, an orange indicator will appear to alert you. Additionally, you will see the total duration with another orange indicator, allowing you to know exactly how your content will be displayed.

The power of advanced campaigns

In advanced campaign mode, Disign allows you to discover channels with an orange indicator, showing those that behave like a stream. This helps you manage scenario durations and adjust your campaigns accordingly.
