Server information DS Templates

In order to display DS Templates content on screens (external mediaplayers), player software needs to be installed on the device first. At the moment we have player software for Windows, Android and HTML launchers.

Download(s) player software:

In the player software you need to enter a "screen" key, which you can find on the "screens" page in our CMS. Both the player software and our content make requests to several different rest api endpoints. These endpoints always use https and thus port 443. We suggest whitelisting both port 80 and 443, since it is possible to load external content which requires port 80.

DST content get's hosted from multiple domains. Resellers of our platform often get their own dedicated domain (whitelabel domain). When a whitelabel is being used, a lot of traffic usually gets served through their dedicated domain. List of domains which always get used:

app.digitalsignage-templates.com content

  • optional whitelabel domain -- >  content
  • dstemplates-prod.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com -- >  media
  • services.digitalsignage-templates.com - -> integrations 
  • prod.staticfiles.digitalsignage-templates.com -- > CDN 
  • fonts.gstatic.com google -- >  fonts
  • fonts.googleapis.com google -- >  fonts
  • use.typekit.net adobe -- > fonts

List of possible domains, based on what content is being displayed:

It is possible to load content from any domain, this can be done using the iframe template or rss feed's. If external domains are imported, those need to be whitelisted aswell. This list is subject to change, we will require more domains to be whitelisted in the future.
