This section describes how to implement the Chrome OS Player using the Chrome Management Console.
Follow the steps below to set up chrome management console:
A device management solution such as the Chrome Management Console is recommended for deployment and management of Chrome OS Devices. Although, this document provides implementation for Chrome Management Console there are other vendors who claim to provide similar functionality. Please contact the vendor of your device management software.
Follow the steps below to enable the Kiosk mode:
Log in to the Chrome Developer Console.
Browse to Device management > Chrome Management > Device Settings.
Scroll down to Kiosk Settings and click Manage Kiosk Applications.
Select the AEM Screens Player from the Chrome Web Store.
A recently published app may take about 15 minutes to appear in this list.
Select AEM Screens Player from the Auto Launch Kiosk App dropdown.
It may take a few minutes depending on the network for the changes to take effect. A reboot is recommended.
Please note that these settings maybe enabled several minutes after the device is enrolled. Each option may become enabled over time.
The AEM Screens Player is a Kiosk enabled application that also enables Remote Policy Configuration for Chrome OS Players.
Follow the steps below to configure various options of the player:
Reboot the device to sync policy changes.
{
"server": {
"Value": "https://aemscreensdemo.adobeitc.com"
},
"resolution": {
"Value": "auto"
},
"rebootSchedule": {
"Value": "at 4:00am"
},
"enableAdminUI": {
"Value": true
},
"enableOSD": {
"Value": true
},
"enableActivityUI": {
"Value": true
}
}
The following table summarizes the policies with their functions.
Policy Name | Purpose |
---|---|
server | The URL to the Adobe Experience Manager Server |
resolution | The resolution of the Chrome OS Device |
rebootSchedule | The schedule to reboot the Chrome player |
enableAdminUI | Enable the Admin UI for technicians to configure the device on site. Set to false once it is fully configured and in production. |
enableOSD | Enable the channel switcher UI for users to switch channels on device. Consider setting to false once it is fully configured and in production. |
enableActivityUI | Enable to show progress of activities such as download and sync. Enable for troubleshooting and disable once it is fully configured and in production. |
Policy configurations are strictly enforced and are not manually overridden at the player’s admin UI. To allow manual player configuration for a particular policy, do not specify the policy in the policy configuration, for example, if you want to allow manual configuration for reboot schedule, do not specify the key rebootSchedule in the policy configuration.
