Very good, Easy to use Signage plugin. Needs essential improvement
Dear Foyer Team Your Signage plugin is Very robust, Easy to use software. But its essentially needs the following addtions a) Essentially need timer (Analog and Digital clocks) b) Essentially needs RSS feeds intergration c) Essentially fix the page rendering to fit with window, so it can be played with any signage displays with "Play via URL" option. (I am using LG Signage display. The page is not rendering to fit with real page. Its played with zoom in position Kindly fix these items and update. Your plugin is not updated after March 7, 2021

Solid Plugin with R-Pi 4 Signage!
I've been using Foyer as part of my University project research for the past 5 months, and have found it is reliable and very simple to setup. I've used a combination of media from images, (small 20~mb) local mp4 files, youtube links and local webpages made with Elementor Free and been very pleased with the results. Only PDFs have had not luck for me, but thats not a huge deal for my use case. I'm happy with the granular level of control for videos where you can hold until it finishes and specify start/stop times. I wish creating the playlist was more streamlined, creating individual slides then adding them individually to a channel takes a while. Other than that, its easily the best Open Source project for Signage out there. Kudos to the authors!

This is great
Hello Foyer has been such a great help to display information to the public. What would make this even better is if we were able to change the time between slides for each slide. Eg: Slide 1: 10 seconds Slide 2: 30 seconds etc etc. But other than that it's been great and will continue using it!
