We are currently utilizing another digital signage/live media content management system and just notified that licensing costs are about to increase substantially. Unfortunately our customers cannot afford the increases and this is forcing our company to locate another more affordable solution. The issue we are facing is related to having a digital signage server and media players that can be customized. We require a solid digital signage application, but our current media players also play (live) decoded h.264 video over HLS/TCP or video that originates from UDP transport streams.
I am basically attempting to find out if code within the DigitalSignage Media Server and DigitalSignage Media Player application can be potentially customized to support additional media player capabilities? We also utilize a UDP transport "video error correction" application for live content and another piece of proprietary hardware that communicates directly with our media players with very basic ASCII coding.
The question??? Has anyone received permission and moved forward with code customization for specific application requirements.
