Detailed description of features:

• "Reboot" - physically reboot the device. SmartPlayer will start automatically after the operating system starts.
• "Application update" - with the development of the client application, SmartPlayer releases updates for its application, in which bugs can be fixed, new functionality added. This function will allow you to update the client application remotely, without the physical involvement of the administrator at the device installation point.
• "Screenshot from video" - allows you to take a screenshot of the device's screen while it is playing a video. This function applies only to videos, if you plan to show only pictures, the screenshot will be taken from any device.
• "Setting the time (time zone)" - in consoles, there is no battery that is responsible for the internal clock of the device, and therefore the application maintains the current time on the consoles. If the set-top box has access to the Internet, then this function is irrelevant, it is important only in closed networks (without Internet access)
• "Work 24/7" - prefix work 24 hours 7 days a week.
• "Root access" is a superuser on set-top boxes who has the right to change system settings. Root access allows the SmartPlayer application to administer the device without restrictions. Root access is provided by console manufacturers.
• "WiFi 2.4 / 5 GHz" - WiFi can work in two ranges, usually 5 GHz networks are less loaded, which allows you to achieve a more stable network state
• "Disable automatic firmware update" - manufacturers release firmware (operating system) updates for their devices, this function allows the system administrator to control when the update is performed.
• "Remove unnecessary applications" - by default, console manufacturers install many applications. Some applications can make notifications and interfere with the playback of content, with this function SmartPlayer will hide unnecessary applications from the console.
• "Recommended by SmartPlayer" - this means that the set-top box has been tested by SmartPlayer and is recommended for organizing Digital Signage projects
• "Where to buy" - shops where you can buy a set-top box.

P.s. All of the above information is the result of testing by SmartPlayer. Even one model may differ from batch to batch.

P.s. By default, all devices starting from Android 5.0 are supported.

Application Privileges

The application on the device can have different privileges, depending on which the device can be controlled

• Normal - by default when installing SmartPlayer app on any device with Android 5.0 or higher
• Device Owner - issued using the developer settings by the application installer. If the device has root access, SmartPlayer will automatically elevate itself to Device Owner.
• Privileged - a privileged application when the firmware manufacturer adds an application to the system partition / system / priv-app. It is more secure than rooting the device.
• Root - the superuser available for the application, the highest level of access for the application. Root is provided by the firmware manufacturer, usually devices without Google certification.

You can do all the settings manually, but usually this does not satisfy the needs of the b2b sector. The table below shows the capabilities of the application without user participation at the point (administration through the SmartPlayer personal account).
