Signage Platform Module (SPM)

The Signage Platform Module (SPM) is an additional APK that should be installed alongside the OnSign Player App to ensure access to all Android Player Remote Control features. This will enable advanced features like:

​

• Remote View and Control

• Remote Reboot and Shutdown

• Remote Software Update

• Extended remote log for the support team

The SPM is an APK signed by the Android manufacturer so OnSign can execute root-level commands on the device. 

A custom SPM is built for each Android Distribution, so there is a specific version of the SPM version for each Android Distribution.

There are two different ways to find the correct SPM for your device:

• Running the Health check, as this will point out the correct SPM version

• When paring the device to your account, OnSign will prompt in case there is an SPM available for this device

As an alternative to the SPM, rooted devices will also enable advanced features.

If your device is not rooted and doesn’t have the SPM installed, then the Remote View, Remote Reboot, and Remote OnSign player update will not be possible.
