Any URL becomes screen content.
Point Hangar.Media at any publicly accessible file URL and display it on your screens. From CDN-hosted images to remotely managed video files, if it has a URL it can be on your displays.
Direct URL-to-screen content delivery
The File from URL integration eliminates the need to download and re-upload content. Provide a direct link to any image, video, or document hosted on the web and Hangar.Media fetches it for display. Set refresh intervals so your screens always show the latest version of the file at that URL.
Was Sie mit screen content. tun können
Drei Funktionen, die diese Integration für Ihr Digital Signage-Netzwerk unverzichtbar machen.
Link once, display forever
Paste a URL into the Hangar.Media content library and the file is fetched, cached, and ready for playlists. When the source file changes, Hangar.Media detects the update and refreshes the cached version on your screens.
We link to our CDN assets and every screen gets the latest creative without re-uploading anything.
One-time URL entry with persistent caching
Automatic change detection via ETag and Last-Modified headers
Manual refresh button for immediate updates
Always-current content
Set a refresh schedule so Hangar.Media re-fetches the file at regular intervals. This is ideal for URLs that serve dynamic content like daily menus, event schedules, or dashboard screenshots that are regenerated periodically.
Our daily specials image regenerates at 6am and screens pick it up by 6:05am automatically.
Refresh intervals from every 5 minutes to once daily
Time-of-day scheduling for predictable update windows
Stale content fallback if the source URL is temporarily unavailable
Access protected files
Not all files are publicly open. Hangar.Media supports URLs that require authentication through query string tokens, API keys in headers, or basic HTTP authentication. Access private CDN assets, gated documents, and internal web resources securely.
We use signed URLs from our private S3 bucket and Hangar.Media handles the token refresh.
Query string token and API key header support
HTTP Basic authentication for internal resources
Custom header injection for specialized auth schemes

Entwickelt für jeden Branche.
Erfahren Sie, wie verschiedene Branchen diese Integration nutzen, um Ergebnisse zu erzielen.
Dynamic daily menu displays
Restaurants generate a menu image each morning from their ordering system and host it at a fixed URL. Hangar.Media fetches the updated file and pushes it to all dining area screens.
CorporateDashboard screenshot broadcasting
Business intelligence tools export dashboard screenshots to a web URL on a schedule. Office screens display the latest KPI dashboards without any manual steps.
EntertainmentEvent poster distribution
Venues host event posters on their website and link those URLs to lobby and entrance screens. When a new event is announced online, the signage updates automatically.
EducationTimetable display automation
Schools export class timetables as images to a web server each term. Classroom and hallway screens pull the latest version from the URL without staff needing to touch the signage system.
Häufige Fragen. Direkte Antworten.
What file types can be loaded from a URL
Hangar.Media supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG, WebP, MP4, WebM, MOV, PDF, and PowerPoint files fetched from URLs. The file must be served with the correct content-type header for reliable detection.
Can I use URLs that require a login
Yes. You can add HTTP Basic authentication credentials, API key headers, or query string tokens in the URL settings. This allows access to private CDN assets and internal web resources.
What happens if the URL becomes unavailable
Hangar.Media keeps a cached copy of the last successfully fetched file. If the source URL returns an error, the cached version continues to display on screens until the source is restored.
How large can the files be
URL-sourced files follow the same size limits as directly uploaded content. Images up to 50MB and videos up to 2GB are supported. Larger files may require direct upload instead.
