Been looking into streaming devices to solve a Music on Hold issue for us, but have come up short thus far. Figured people here would be more knowledgable on these devices than I.
We have a high number of locations that need this. The locations have no local staff or servers. We have opportunity to config things before they are shipped, but this device really needs to be plug and play - quite literally.
We're looking to either stream audio content form the home office over the network or from local storage in the device (SD card, etc.) that can be updated remotely (drive share, ftp, etc.).
I've found and tested devices that can do this, but here's the rub - none of them have an auto-play option for what we want. If this thing loses power and reboots we need it to start playing content (either from a remote media server or the local storage) automatically.
I know there are companies that sell music on hold specific devices that can do this - but they are priced at more than twice the cost of the streaming devices I've looked at (Asus, Roku, Sony, WD, etc.). That adds up fast given our number of locations (several thousand).
Is there a streaming device that I have overlooked that can do this?
Thanks!
