New Features & Improvements

 

App Features Description Affects

Application-Wide Custom Font Support (BrightSign)

Technical Info:

Install Custom Fonts Application-Wide on BrightSign Devices

Custom fonts on BrightSign devices now apply consistently across all content types, ensuring uniform typography application-wide.

Because certain font file types can prevent BrightSign hardware from starting up correctly, custom fonts are no longer auto-installed. Administrators must now explicitly permit supported font types using a new device property:

  • New property: device.font.supportedtypes
  • Values: a comma-separated list of extensions (for example, ttf,otf,woff)

To enable application-wide custom fonts, the following conditions must be met:

  • The custom font must be successfully installed using the Appspace App: Install font device task.
  • The device.font.supportedtypes property must be set.
  • The device must be rebooted. BrightSign requires a restart to install custom fonts within the roHtmlWidget configuration.
  • IT Admin
  • Communicator
HLS Streaming on Crestron Devices HLS video streams on Crestron devices now render at the display’s full physical resolution, including 4K (3840×2160).
  • IT Admin
  • Communicator
Improved Rollback Status Messaging (BrightSign) The on-device message displayed when a BrightSign device is in a state where rollback is unavailable has been improved to provide clearer information about why rollback cannot be performed.
