How to Display OFS on a TV?

Some smart TVs with a built-in web browser can display OFS directly, without a separate computer — this article covers the ways to log in and what to try if your TV doesn't cooperate.

Results vary by TV model, and we can't confirm in advance whether a specific TV will work.

Before trying any of the methods below, create a new OFS user for the TV with the Analytics User role — something like TVUser or a name based on the room, e.g. MeetingRoomTV.

Step 1 — Try entering the OFS URL directly

Enter your OFS URL into the TV's built-in web browser. Some TVs will prompt you to enter the account's username and password using the remote. Once entered, OFS should load as expected.

Step 2 — Use an inline credential URL if the TV doesn't prompt for a login

Many TVs won't prompt for credentials when loading a webpage. In that case, enter the username and password directly in the URL, in this format:

https://<username>:<password>@customer.ofsxpress.com/analytics

For example:

https://MeetingRoomTV:LetMeIn22@customer.ofsxpress.com/analytics

Using this format, the TV should log in automatically with the specified account.

Step 3 — Connect the TV as an external display

If neither method works, or your TV doesn't have a built-in web browser, connect the TV to a computer and use it as an external display instead.
