Before You Watch
Two videos need software and files on hand. Get them first so you can follow along instead of pausing.
- Platform: vehhub.top. Use Google Chrome. Video 1 shows how to create the account.
- LedOK Express: the Windows tool that talks to the LED controller. Download LedOK Express. Needed for video 2.
- taxiapp package: the player app that has to be on the controller before binding works. Download the taxiapp package.
- APK install clip: a short recording of the upgrade step in LedOK Express. Watch the APK install clip.
Note
Watch in the order below if this is your first time. Videos 1 and 2 are one-off setup. Videos 3 to 5 are the day-to-day work. Videos 6 and 7 are reporting, and you only need them once ads are running.
Recommended
Keep the Rooftop CMS Manual open in a second tab. The videos show where to click; the manual has the passwords, thresholds and exact field names you will want to search for later.
01Account Registration Instruction
Creating your login on the platform, start to finish.
What the video shows:
- Opening Create an Account on the login page, entering an email and password, and accepting the user agreement.
- Signing in: username and password, the Please click the button to verify captcha, then Get verification code.
- Reading the code from your email inbox and entering it to finish the login.
- Where the Password Reset link sits if you get locked out.
Note
There is no approval step and no waiting period. The account works as soon as the email code goes through. Written steps: Account management.
02Account Binding Operation Description
Connecting a physical LED controller to your account so the vehicle appears on the platform.
What the video shows:
- Downloading the vehicle access certificate from the account menu at the top right. It saves as an
.icfile named after your email. - Detecting the controller in LedOK Express and setting the web server address under Terminal Control → Advanced.
- Checking which app is installed. If the old
xixunplayeris still there, it has to be uninstalled before taxiapp goes on. - Installing the taxiapp package through Firmware Management → Upgrade and waiting for APK Install Success.
- Choosing Bind ic account and pointing it at the
.icfile.
Keep in mind
Binding fails if the SIM has no working data connection. The APN must be exactly right for the carrier, and the SIM must be activated in a phone first. The full SIM and APN checklist is in Device binding, and the failure symptoms are listed under Troubleshooting.
Note
A freshly bound controller only appears under Vehicle Control → Ungrouped. It still counts as zero on the dashboard until you move it into a real group. See Vehicle control.
03Advertisement
The standard job: put an ad on a group of vehicles and release it.
What the video shows:
- Adding an ad under Vehicle Group Ads → + Add and naming it.
- Picking a file from the media library, or uploading a new one.
- Setting the play duration and, under More Property Settings, the play times and the valid date and time range.
- Selecting which vehicle groups get the ad.
- Publishing with Release Now or scheduling it for a later date, then checking Details to see which vehicles accepted it.
Keep in mind
If a sequence ads list already exists for the group, a new ad has to be added to that list or it will never play. Written steps: Advertising.
04Fixed Point Ads
Geolocation ads: the screen only plays the ad inside a circle you draw on the map.
What the video shows:
- Dropping a point with + fixed point, then editing it to set a name and a radius in meters.
- Creating the ad with + Geolocation ads: media, play time, date range, then the fixed point it belongs to.
- Selecting the vehicle group and executing, which sends the ad for approval and release.
- Toggling between the map view and the list of points.
Note
Geolocation ads sit at the top of the priority order, above sequence ads, vehicle group ads and counting ads. That is what makes them interrupt whatever else is playing when the vehicle enters the zone. See Advertising, and Map for reading vehicle positions and tracks.
Keep in mind
A fixed point cannot be deleted while an ad still points at it. Delete the geolocation ad first, then the point.
05Release by Quantity
Counting ads: buy a number of vehicles rather than a whole group.
What the video shows:
- Opening the counting ads screen, which asks for a password before it lets you in.
- Adding an ad, naming it, and entering how many vehicles it should run on.
- Choosing the media and the duration of each play.
- The Online Priority tick box, which pushes the ad ahead of sequence ads instead of leaving it in normal order.
- Publishing, then stopping an ad from the released list.
Note
Counting ads have the lowest priority of the four ad types. Use them to top up delivery, not to guarantee a specific vehicle plays something. Written steps: Advertising.
06Play Log
Proof of play: what ran, on which vehicle, for how long, and where.
What the video shows:
- Opening Play Log from a released ad and switching between the chart, list and map views.
- Setting a date range and reading vehicles, impressions and total duration.
- The per-record columns: start time, card number, alias, duration, and the latitude and longitude where playback started.
- Exporting to a spreadsheet.
Keep in mind
An empty play log usually means the log switch was off on the vehicles, not that nothing played. Turn it on under Vehicle Control → Log Switch → Play Log before the campaign starts, because it does not backfill. More in Logs and reporting.
Note
The full per-play detail report is not generated on screen. You request it with Export play log details and the platform emails a download link to the address you are logged in with, normally within one to two business days.
07Equipment Operation Log
Who changed what. Useful when an ad disappears and nobody admits to touching it.
What the video shows:
- Opening System Management → Operation Log.
- The separate log tabs, including the device and ad operations log and the user log.
- Reading an entry: event type, note information, IP address and operation date.
- Typical event types, such as adding a user, adding or removing a geofence region, and placing or taking down a counting ad.
Note
The log is far easier to read if each person has their own sub-account instead of everyone sharing one login. Sub-accounts and permissions are covered in User management; the log fields are in Logs and reporting.
File Formats Used in the Videos
The videos upload media without dwelling on the rules. These are the rules.
| Item | What the platform accepts |
|---|---|
| Images | PNG, JPG and GIF. |
| Video containers | MP4 and 3GP only. |
| Video encoding | Divx, Xvid or AVC/H.264. Anything else may refuse to play and has to be converted first. |
| Video size | Keep the resolution between 320p and 720p. Video wider than 1280 px or taller than 1080 px may cause playback errors. |
| Color mode | Pictures must be RGB. A CMYK file shows as a black screen. |
Recommended
If a file was made for print or exported from a video editor with default settings, convert it before you upload. Step-by-step settings are in Video Format Conversion.
If a Video Will Not Play
These tutorials stream from YouTube, so most problems are network problems.
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Player is blank or stuck loading | You are probably on a network that blocks YouTube. Ask IT to allow youtube.com, or open this page on a phone using mobile data. |
| Constant buffering | Lower the quality with the gear icon in the player. Audio is not essential in these recordings, so a lower resolution is usually fine. |
| On-screen text is too small to read | Go fullscreen and raise the quality to the highest option offered. If it is still unclear, the same screens are described in words in the Rooftop CMS Manual. |
| The interface looks different from the video | The platform gets updated; the recordings do not. Treat the written manual as the current reference and tell us what moved. |
| You need the steps with no internet | Print the written manual before you go on site. It is laid out to print cleanly. |
Note
The platform interface still carries the original vendor's wording, so some labels read oddly and some screens show the vendor's own product names rather than ours. The videos show the actual clicks, so you can follow them regardless of what a label says.
Questions
Do I need to watch all seven?
No. If someone else already set up your account and bound the vehicles, start at video 3. Videos 1 and 2 are one-time setup work. Videos 6 and 7 only matter once ads are running and you have to report on them.
Can I download the videos to watch offline?
No. They are YouTube embeds and stream only. If you will be somewhere without a connection, print the Rooftop CMS Manual instead — it covers the same ground in text.
Are there written instructions instead?
Yes. The Rooftop CMS Manual is the searchable version of everything shown here, with the field names, passwords and thresholds spelled out. Its FAQ answers the questions that come up most.
Which video covers installing the hardware?
None of them. These are platform tutorials only. Mounting the sign, running power and fitting the antenna are in Rooftop Installation.
I got stuck at a specific point in a video. What now?
Email [email protected] with the video name and the timestamp. That is usually enough for us to answer on the first reply.
Can you record a tutorial on something not covered here?
Send the request to [email protected] and say what you were trying to do when you got stuck. We add videos where people keep getting stuck, not by topic list.
Rather not run the platform yourself?
OptionWe can operate the fleet, schedule the ads and send you the play reports. Hardware details are on the rooftop LED product page.

Stuck? We'll sort it out.
Email us a photo or short video of what the screen is doing — it's usually all we need to diagnose the issue on the first reply.
