Hi i turn on big screen but when i got to view the feed i do not see a button to make feed go full screen like demo.
please ignore i worked out my issue.
Good day,
I have bought the Big Screen Extension on another Envato Account. We faced some issues with cards not displaying too 100% screen due to the length of the cards. Is it possible to:
1) Limit the card content height? 2) Limit the number of characters for each card?
Looking forward to your response.
Hi, try to set NUMBER OF VISIBLE ITEMS value lower and set HIDE META INFO to YES.
Or limit the card content height with custom CSS:
#ff-stream-1 .ff-content {
overflow: hidden;
max-height: 120px !important; /* your value in px */
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

Hello! I want to slideshow one big picture/post per time. Is it configurable like that? can you show me an example?
Hi looks_awesome. Great plugin. Well done!
We experience some problems. In fullscreen mode we always see a scrollbar. Also, we sometimes experience the same problem as TiFab (post 30 days ago). Please help.
Hello starletti,

The extension is not working as it should. I have premoderation on. I approve new posts, and click APPLY CHANGES. Nothing happends. The big screen shows the same posts there were before. I have to manually reload the screen to see the new stuff. Cache lifetime is set to 1 minute.
Hello sivustaja,
are you seeing stream on big screen being logged in dashboard in the browser? You should broadcast to big screen browser window where you’re not logged in. Is it clear? So, premoderate in browser where you logged in and output to big screen browser where you’re not logged in

I was watching the big screen on another computer. The idea was to moderate on another computer, and show the big screen on another. The cache is set to 1 minute, so it should refresh the new approved posts every other minute, right? It does not do that. We need to refresh the big screen to get the new approved posts.
Hello sivustaja,
I see now what you mean. You need to reload your browser where you premoderate to see newly added posts and then approve them. These posts will be rotated in live stream then but this depends on cache lifetime you set. Plugin will check for new posts with interval of cache lifetime. BTW We don’t recommend to use cache lifetime smaller that 10 min if you have LOAD LAST value bigger than 40. So you need to reduce LOAD LAST if you set cache lifetime below 10 because this can cause updates problem

I have been testing the livestream now for a day. It does not update. I set the cache to 10 minutes. Then I approve new posts (in another browser). I wait for the new posts to show … nothing, nada. Waited for 30 mins. Only way to get the new posts to show is to REFRESH the browser, which makes the plugin completely useless. We have a conference tomorrow where I was about to use this. What an earth is the LOAD LAST value? Never heard.
Ah, now I get what is the LOAD LAST value. It’s in the options. I was thinking server related settings. The problem is not with in the approval. I do get the new posts. The broadcasting extension just does not refresh and show the new approved posts. If I refresh it manually, everything works, but of course it is not an option.
Hello sivustaja,
OK contact us via PM http://codecanyon.net/user/looks_awesome#contact and we’ll send you updated version of plugin with improvements for this. You will need to set CACHE LIFETIME to 3 min at least (so plugin has time to update). Then you will be able to approve and posts will make it to stream

With the extension, we see only about the last 7 or so posts. Is there a way to extend it reshuffle the old posts if they aren’t any new ones, so there isn’t a blank page?
Hello ,
plugin shows number of posts that can be fitted in available screen space. Try zoom out screen and refresh stream page to test. If you see more posts then all your posts have size that allows to display only 7. If you see 7 posts on 50% zoomed out screen please share live URL so we can check

Hey guys, how do i set maximum height for a card in big screen mode? It shows 4 cards next to each other with alot of white space below, instead of 2 rows of 4. This is on a 1080p resolution. I would actually like to show alot more on 1080p but there are not enough settings to achieve this.
Hello VEMEME,
it shows the number of posts that can be fit in screen so second row posts are too tall in height to fit on screen. Do you have live URL so we can check? Maybe we can advise some custom CSS

this is how it shows on a 1080p screen http://imgur.com/Ns2z2Cx website: http://www.thecourseofrap.com/social/ password: skywalker
Hello VEMEME,
your screen can be 1080p but resolution can be set to low values. This extension is meant to work on really big screens. 1080p is 1920 × 1080 but this is not the biggest screen now. Set the highest resolution possible. If it’s highest you can try to zoom out browser viewport also to fit more posts https://www.dropbox.com/s/tc9ivdj3tj65x77/Screenshot%202016-06-28%2009.27.25.png?dl=0 (zoom out and reload page).

Honestly guys, that’s a really bad solution. Most kiosk operating screens dont go over 1920×1080 so saying we all have to manually rescale our browsers on every reboot? I’m working with autonomous kiosks so that is’nt going to work. How come there are no customization options to just scale the tweets down in font size etc? There is also no required or recommended resolution on the product page. I’d like a fix for this to work nice on 1920×1080 screens.
Hello VEMEME,
browser saves zooming preference once it’s set. I think we can provide you some custom CSS to make cards smaller.
SOLUTION FOR HAVING MORE CARDS VISIBLE
Please set card width to 130 and margin to 10 here https://www.dropbox.com/s/osb3vha6clonape/Screenshot%202016-06-28%2016.42.33.png?dl=0 we will make them 2x smaller. Now add next to CSS field:
.ff-item .ff-content, .ff-item .ff-article, .ff-item .ff-content p {
margin: 0;
font-size: 10px!important;
line-height: 11px!important;
}
.ff-name {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 11px !important;
line-height: 12px !important ;
}
.ff-nickname {
font-size: 10px !important ;
}
.ff-timestamp {
font-size: 10px !important ;
}
.ff-theme-flat h4 {
font-size: 12px !important;
line-height: 14px !important;
}

Great! Does the realtime live updates and cards rotate only when enabled in fullscreen?
If so, is there any way to have the cards update and rotate without entering fullscreen-mode?
Many Thanks
Hello ,
no, we don’t plan to add this in main plugin but we plan to add notification that new posts are available so user can click button and load fresh content (like in Facebook)

Hi! Great plugin, live stream really works, only one question. Is it possible to only show one card, full screen and let that one fade/flip into another one? I find the screen a bit boring in my opinion If i only see 4 cards, and only one of them is rotating. I want to make it more interactive/bigger.
Another option would be nice to see the feeds “scroll down” when a new item comes in.
Hello PhotographerAruba,
it depends on screen size. You can try to set card width https://www.dropbox.com/s/5dugqlchkyeq7bb/Screenshot%202016-05-26%2012.26.11.png?dl=0 and this mode https://www.dropbox.com/s/p2796w4ei952aba/Screenshot%202016-05-26%2012.26.28.png?dl=0 but I think you will need custom CSS for this to increase fonts even bigger. We will consider to add more effects in future

this plugin crashes with the advertising-plugin while use the “Rich HTML”. things like fontsize and imagesize gettin set wrong when this plugin is activated. also the tv-mode have problems.
Hello eccoelements,
there must be valid HTML added. Invalid HTML can break things. You can send us access to check your current config which causes errors. Please contact us via form and send your URL and temporary admin access so we can inspect this

I’ve been observing the demo trying to figure out how the updates are determined but must admit that I’m stumped. 
When in full-screen mode, what options are available to determine the card cycling? A screenshot of the UI might be helpful.
Also, is it possible to do a FIFO type refresh? ie. render the last x stream elements and each time a new element arrives, refresh the stream, adding the new element to the bottom and removing the oldest element from the top?
If this type of behaviour isn’t supported it would be a terrific option as most people are accustomed to screen crawls when information is being updated.
Hello mrickan,
please check admin settings https://www.dropbox.com/s/ys7m1hqlnlqppct/Screenshot%202016-05-16%2012.40.21.png?dl=0 How it works: every period of time (CACHE LIFETIME setting is used to determine this period) plugin will try to pull new posts. If there are new posts then it will add it to queue for rotation, and they will be shown immediately. But post position is determined not by date but by card size. It means first card in stream not means it’s the latest by date

Hello,
The plugin has a lot of bugs, the live update real time is not working
i can’t guess when it’s updating and when it’s not.
the predominate function not working -unapproved post are appear – the order of the tweets post isn’t correct
the setting keep reseting (especially the big screen settings )
the big screen not working or showing if i’m not logged in to the wp admin ?
Hello omarnas,
it live-updates with interval set for CACHE LIFETIME. Premoderate function works if you see unapproved posts then you are under admin, you need to check stream page under non-admin. The order depends on settings, when full-screen is activated it will rotate cards randomly. We can check admin proper work if you send us access via PM

Hello,
i enabled bigger images in full screen mode, but the images in normal mode grow up then, as well. If i enable bigger images i want them only in full screen mode to be bigger, not in normal mode. How to fix that?
Thanks!
Hello, normal mode won’t be visible on big screen, it’s intended to be only in fullscreen mode when you broadcast it to TV.
Hello,
i just purchased the “Big Screen” addon. Very nice so far! 
Q: In fullscreen mode i see only the last 15 loaded streams (in normal mode i have 50). It is possible to scroll in full screen mode, but nothing happens then. Half of my fullscreen is empty, because only the 15 items are visible. How to fix that?
Thanks!
Hello, it’s special mode for broadcasting to big screens. You just output stream page to big screen and turn on this mode and it does its job automatically, I mean you don’t sit and scroll content on big screen. So only cards that fit in the screen will be visible, others will rotate
Hello, i have a problem i’m getting this error when i’m trying to activate the big screen plugin Fatal error: Class ‘FlowAdsClassLoader’ not found in **
I already bought Flow-Flow — WordPress Social Stream Plugin a few months ago, and now i bought Big Screens Extension for Flow-Flow Social Stream can you please advice ?
Hello Omar, you need to install latest version of main plugin (current is 2.8) to be able to use extension
Hello, we found error in installation, please wait for version 1.0.1 to be approved or contact us via PM and we’ll send it
Hello is it working with ” Flow-Flow — Social Streams PHP Script” as well ? or only the wordpress pluging ?
Hello, only WordPress
Does live update work without big screen mode since Flow Flow doesn’t support live updates yet?
Does this plugin also work with ad extension?
Hello, live updating is only in extension. We plan to add this to main plugin with time. This extension works with ad extension also
YES!!! Amazing release and compliment to your insanely awesome #FlowFlow plugin! The next big ‘event’ client I have am purchasing this ASAP!! Luv ya Looks Awesome!
Hell yes! Thanks for appreciation!
