Comprehensive live online monitoring and reporting tools provide total control of every connected signagelive player enabling 100% compliance. Standard online reports and dashboards detail when players receive the content sent and when the scheduled media has been played.

"It is important to provide signagelive customers use of their existing online media libraries enabling convergence of the web, TV and digital signage content." said Jason Cremins, CEO of Remote Media Limited, the company behind signagelive.

  • Media RSS (MRSS) is an RSS extension used for syndicating multimedia files (audio, video, image) in RSS feeds. It was designed in 2004 by Yahoo! and the Media RSS community, and adds several enhancements to RSS enclosures.
Media RSS is used by content publishers to feed media files into Yahoo! Video Search, which is a feature of Yahoo! Search that allows to search for video files. The format can be used for podcasting, which uses the RSS format as a means of delivering content to media-playing devices. Media RSS allows for a much more detailed description of the content to be delivered to the subscriber than is covered by the RSS standard.
