Ability to render signage in browser

Hello

Looks like the documentation sounds like we need external devices using like SignageOS to display signage we created. I tried to create a device using 'Custom' platform. It's possible to preview signage via 'Live schedule' but how do we use the new device in production? Feels like it's missing steps on how to actually use the signage in production. Is there a way to generate a URL for the signage we create and render it on browser?

    @cyoon84 How did you "try to create a device using 'Custom' platform"? I even cannot find the path to do it.

    @jurgenhaas Thank you for your great work! so flexible! Do you mean we must subscribe to https://signageos.io to get signageOS devices working? Can't we directly working with devices conforming to the signageOS protocol by the module signageOS? In other word, is signageOS protocol even an exclusive and close protocol?

    There is a separate module digital_signage_custom_platform. When you enable that, the config page can be found at /admin/config/services/digital_signage_framework/custom_platform

    The DigSigFramework is build such that it manages the content and contects to remote devices through a platform that manages those remote devices. signageOS is one of those platforms that provide that integration with DSF, but if you have a different platform, you need to provide the integration plugin for that first. DSF is not managing remote devices itself, it does it through an API for which you can write plugins.

    If you want to use sigageOS, then you need an account with them.

    @jurgenhaas Thank you! Honestly speaking, I hope the signage protocol is not an open or widely-adpoted protocol or specification. If so, where is the official website? If not, it seems not worth developping such a flexible and extensible module.
