Slideshow - Digital Signage

Milan Fabian

About this app

Using Slideshow you can show pictures, photos and videos to your customers using almost any Android tablet or Android box connected to TV - for free, without any hidden cost.

Turn your Android box, stick or TV into a Digital signage device and display sales material to your customers. Turn your Android tablet into a photo frame or small digital signboard.

You can add new media files:
- By connecting USB flash drive with files
- Remote uploading through browser from your computer
- Remote uploading through FTP
- Synchronizing with Google Drive, Dropbox or WebDAV folder

Uploaded files are shown in cycle, either randomly (on shuffle) or alphabetically. Through the web interface, you can setup various playlists and screen layouts and schedule them to different parts of days and days of week.

Slideshow can display various image, video and audio formats, even Excel sheets, PDF, HTML files, websites and YouTube videos. You can also add zones with the current date & time, RSS news and weather forecast in fully customized layouts.

Slideshow can also play music files or internet radio streams as a background music for your presentation on the screen, or you can turn your whole device into a headless music player for your business premises.

Set up Face detection to trigger customized content, add actions for keys on your remote control or for screen click in a particular zone, integrate with another device via REST API or serial port in order to bring interactivity to your digital signage screen.

Ratings and reviews

Awesome ! Lots of features. You can create your own frame to play videos, pictures, text, time. Configuration can be done from laptop/PC using your browser. It takes a bit of time to get used to it, but it has an online manual. You can schedule what to play and when. The media can be loaded from local storage, LAN or even Internet (Google, Dropbox).

App has few bugs but it's good overall. Before it was working good now it cuts end of all my videos and since I have logo / branding at the end it starts to be pretty useless... Video cuts before brand even starts. I would need to edit all my videos and make them longer so they are not cut or change the order. It's complicating a lot. Don't know why it does that. Will try uninstalling and installing the app again to see if it helps.

This app is fantastic! What a professional job. Too cool. I use it as a bedroom clock -- I was looking for something where I could load a custom font. This is perfect. Only problem is I can't get it to auto start on boot on my old phone. I think the issue is my Moto X4 makes me "swipe up" to login, even with login security disabled. Hopefully it won't reboot often, but a solution would be nice, since I share the bedroom clock with my wife. I think she'd like it to always work. ;-)
