Player Settings: Miscellaneous

URL to FRAMR. Server

You can set a customized FRAMR. Cloud server to configure the player for an internal on-premise installation, for example. The input field usually remains empty when using the cloud service, in this case the default server "cloud.framr.tv" is used as the destination.

Time server

This is where you can configure the synchronization of the system time. The default address is "pool.ntp.org", which is common for most Linux distributions. If you want to use your own time server for synchronizing with your player, enter the address to this server in this field.

Timezone

In order to display the time of day and scheduled information correctly in the FRAMR. Signage application, you can configure the timezone of your player here.

URL to firmware server

Here you can enter the address to the FRAMR. Firmware server so the player can successfully download and install firmware updates. In the initial state, "http://firmware.framr.tv/" will be filled in by default.

Watchdog enabled

The term watchdog refers to failure detection capability of the FRAMR. Signage application. If this option is enabled, the player will automatically restart the application in case of a program error or crash. In severe error scenarios, it is even possible that the entire hardware might be restarted automatically.

Limit keyboard input

Certain keys are disabled to prevent unintentional key combinations from being pressed, which could affect playback when using a physical keyboard or an on-screen keyboard (OSK).

Enable printing

Thanks to CUPS, your FRAMR. Player prints directly to USB and network printers – e.g., tickets, receipts, or QR codes.

Allow support connection

Enables  a secure support connection through the app's built-in VPN tunnel, ensuring encrypted data transfer and protected remote access.

Hardware log enabled

The hardware log tracks system-critical events such as disconnection from the network, configuration changes, and more on your player’s hard drive. This protocol can be downloaded later by opening the settings via web browser on your PC.

Daily hardware reboot enabled

Automatically restarts your FRAMR. Player daily at 03:45, ensuring stability and minimizing downtime in 24/7 operations. It optimizes performance and reduces maintenance effort.

Custom player parameters

Additional Chromium Command Line Switches can be specified here, used to start the included Chromium browser. Only suitable for specialists!

NDI

NDI is a video-over-IP transport and codec used for remote, cloud or hybrid production. FRAMR. Signage provides a module to display NDI on your screen. Information about NDI is available at ndi.video

(available from version 4.20)

Important notice

This feature is only available if you have chosen an NDI-capable variant of the FRAMR. Player

NDI Discovery Server

Enter the IP address to an NDI discovery server into the text box, this will help the player to discover NDI sources in the local network. If no server is specified, the player will use mDNS to discover NDI sources in the network.

By enabling this flag, you can also start your own NDI Discovery Server together with this device, which will be available to all other players and NDI devices on the network.

Password

The default login password for the settings of your FRAMR. Player is "admin". You can change this password here.
