Zlaudius Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) I'm trying to upload custom advertisements to the machine. So far, I've found you need to have a usb with a file labeled "atlas" for the machine to recognize it, and then a second file inside of that one labeled "adplayer". If you don't have these two things, the machine throws up screens that won't let you get any farther. After this, it was my assumption I could place video mp4 ads inside that second folder and then I would be able to upload them to the machine using the custom advertisements area of the maintenance screens. Everything appears to succeed right up past the point when it says things have uploaded/updated successfully. Unfortunately, my progress ends there. Despite uploading them to the machine, they don't appear in the menu for me to enable them. I have dug through dozens of manuals, and while many of them refer to the existence of the custom advertisements menu, and to the ability for owners to upload adverts using a USB, none of them go into the specifics. If anyone has experience in this area, I would deeply appreciate any suggestions.

AZVendor Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Why not ask Crane since it's their machine. There's likely something proprietary about it that locks you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacanteen Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 The problem might be because you're trying to load an MP4 instead of an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The department I work for has reached out to them on the topic a handful of times and their techs give us the run around. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had considered this to be possible, but the machine already appears to have videos loaded from the manufacturer into the advertising menus. I also spoke to a crane representative who came in do some training on an unrelated issue with the same machine. They said it should be possible for machine owners to upload their own video media using these menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendo Mike Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Curious if the "ads" portion of that is subscription based and being blocked internally. Or mp4 may not be supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlaudius Posted November 20 Author Share Posted November 20 What I've heard back from Crane so far: Ensuring I'm using the right video dimensions, I've still had no success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
