Add a scrolling text banner (running line)
The running line is a scrolling text banner across the bottom of the screen — like a news ticker — that moves continuously without interrupting whatever video or content is playing behind it. It can also show a small digital clock in the corner.
Use it for announcements, news, promotions, safety notices, or live messages layered over your normal content.
What you can set
Enabled — turn the banner on/off (off by default).
Text — the message that scrolls (any length; longer text simply takes longer to loop).
Text colour and background colour (hex like
#ffffff, or names likewhite).Font size (px; ~24–48 reads well) and padding around the text.
Speed — higher scrolls faster (typical 20–100). On a 1920px screen, speed 40 ≈ a ~48s loop.
Vertical shift — nudge the banner up or down.
Show clock — a HH:mm clock in the bottom-right, updating every second (on by default).
How to set it up
Select the screen(s) you want the banner on.
Open Settings → Advanced settings.
Open the device Settings, then click Advanced Settings
4. Set the enabled row to TRUE.
5. In the text row, type the message you want to show.
6. (Optional) Tick show_clock just below to display the small corner clock.
7. Click Submit at the bottom of the window.
Running line settings
Turning it off
Open the same running line settings, set the enabled row to FALSE, and click Submit.
Enable / disable the running line
How it behaves
The text enters from the right, scrolls smoothly to the left, and loops forever, sitting on top of your content without affecting playback. It spans the full width at the bottom; its height comes from the font size plus padding.
Tips
Keep messages short and the font large enough to read at distance.
Pick a background colour with enough contrast against your content.
Turn the clock off if you need maximum room for text.
The running line is a device-level setting (see All settings reference). Set it on the screen(s) you want it on; it applies over whatever playlist is playing.
