How to broadcast my ITESlive display on an Android Player

The steps to follow to install the ITESlive software on an Android device.

Available with:
Android Player: Starter, Pro, Premium

 

VERY IMPORTANT❗: You must complete the ITESlive software installation on the device that will be used to broadcast the display. Do not complete the ITESlive software installation on your personal computer.

Important: We generally recommend avoiding a 4K configuration unless the device has the necessary performance to handle this resolution smoothly, particularly a sufficiently powerful graphics card. A Full HD resolution (1920x1080) is more suitable in most cases and helps ensure optimal display performance.

Note: In the event that you wish to dedicate your Android exclusively to the use of the ITESLIVE display, there are optional configurations that can be applied to the device to do so. These configurations are much more restrictive in nature than the configurations completed in the base installation procedure for the ITESLIVE application. Here's How to dedicate an Android player to your ITESLIVE display?

Note: Improper installation due to not following the described procedure may cause security vulnerabilities.

Date and time configurations

Important: Although the basic date and time configurations will work correctly, it is possible for the time to become inaccurate if the player is not automatically synchronizing this information.  The following steps help ensure that the player is always using the correct date and time, this is important because any inaccuracy in this information can cause challenges in your display (IE. content using start and end dates).

Once the application appears in the list of startup applications, you can close the window. The next time the user logs into the device, the ITESlive display will launch. However, a PIN will be required to identify the ITESlive player that will be used for the display on this device. You can either launch the application manually to enter the PIN, or restart the device so the application runs at startup. In either case, a window prompting for a PIN will appear.

Enter the PIN you noted earlier in the text field and click on the "Save" button to start the display.
