Precautions and restrictions
Below an overview of the precautions and restrictions of TDM5.1:
| Component: | Description: | Status: |
| Scheduling |
When you would like to use power on/off schedules for Sony Bravia displays the following setting is required: Settings > Apps > Special App Access > Energy Optimization > TDM Player for Android > Not Optimized Other brands will display a pop-up to disable the energy optimization permission, in case the pop-up is not shown the permission needs to be disabled manually. |
Added the permission in the ‘TDM5 - How to configure a Sony Bravia with TDM5’ manual. |
| Scheduling | Currently the schedules for powering on/off can only be used on displays, TDM5 does not yet support this feature for tablets and players. | Will be discussed for future versions |
| Scheduling | First save attempt for players and groups will fail, needs a manual reload and another save after selecting (player(s)/group(s). | Will be solved in the next patch |
| TDM4 Importer | The TDM4 importer does not import the borders of a table element. This needs to be set manually after import. It can also happen that the data is being shown in the wrong cell. | Will be solved in the next patch |
| TDM4 Importer | The TDM4 import does not automatically link the data source to a tickertape element. This needs to be set manually after import. | Will be solved in the next patch |
| TDM4 Importer |
When you use search for media in the TDM4 importer and you select a folder, no content is shown. |
Will be solved in the next patch |
| Free trial | It is possible to continue with the free trial request without logging in. This will result in an error when creating the trial. | Will be solved in the next patch |
| Data sources | The TikTok integration is not yet available in TDM5, this because we are currently waiting for TikTok their app approval. Once our TikTok integration has been approved the integration will become visible in TDM5. | Waiting for feedback |
| Data sources | The SharePoint data source requires a manual refresh of the page after you have logged in with your account. Without this manual refresh the SharePoint sites will not be loaded | Will be solved in the next patch |
| Pages | When using 'Import page’, the imported page is always saved to the root instead of the folder you have open. | Will be solved in the next patch |
| Pages | The tickertape element does not yet support the ‘SlideUp’ option. | Will be solved in the next patch |
