Digital signage software that runs on your own server

Elevator display software playback continues when the signal drops

An elevator car is where Wi-Fi is weakest. MIA Player stores content on the screen itself, and in a real Wi-Fi outage test in an elevator with a Samsung screen, playback never stopped.

Problem and solution

Why elevator screens are hard

The car moves, the signal changes floor by floor, and reaching the screen takes a technician.

What often happens today

  • An error or blank page appears when the signal drops
  • Content is changed by USB stick, inside the car
  • A frozen screen is noticed only after a complaint
  • Landscape content looks small on a portrait screen

With MIA

  • Content is stored on the device and keeps playing
  • Changes are made in the panel and arrive on reconnect
  • Offline screen alerts by webhook or Telegram
  • 9:16 programs and 0, 90, 180 or 270 degree rotation

Set it up once, then leave it

On a Samsung signage screen the MIA Player package installs through URL Launcher, and MIA prepares the Samsung certificate for the site. On Android boxes MIA Player starts on boot, stores videos on the device and even starts without the server after a power cut.

Management uploads notices to the "Asansör" folder, and cars tagged "blok:a" show only Block A notices. If a car drops off, the technical team gets a Telegram message, and another when it is back.

  • Rotate either on the TV or in MIA, never both
  • Restart, screen on/off and identify from the control centre
  • Time rules use the server's clock, even offline
