Thanks. I was literally looking for an open source digital signage solution for Pi Zero and you posted this yesterday.

[@enragedbacon470]

can confirm, we use raspberry pis for digital signage at the theater I work at.

[@NovaspiritTech]

hahah nice!! i've seen it too at a local small movie theater we have around town

[@gamertron0882]

@@NovaspiritTech wait... is it the same theater?

[@golf-n-guns]

@@gamertron0882 Plot twist: You're really Novaspirit Tech

[@Stephyayy123]

oh nice. May I ask what program/software you guys use?

[@iblackfeathers]

in some use cases this can be used in place of the magic mirror software as a light smart mirror display. while the magic mirror is fully customisable, there are broken modules that no longer work for one reason or another and have a certain degree of high maintenance. this is like back to basics. 👍

[@brownster4865]

Cool for a single sign for sure. I work for XOGO digital signage which is a company that needs to charge at some point of course. However, one sign is free so probably the same customer as this project is designed for but much more advanced. An option. Good job presenting the opensource project!!

[@Yungbull2403]

fix your shit. I bought 8 xogo minis and they never fucking stay on the server

[@W1ldTangent]

Hot sweet damn, this is exactly what I need for work, thanks! I've probably already tried every one of the other Pi-supported digital signage solutions out there, they all suck performance-wise and at least the last time I looked (last year) none supported the Pi4 yet, and I'll be damned if I ever pay a subscription for signage.

[@m.s.1458]

Hi, i was wondering where is the screen orientation setting, because i want to use my monitor in portrait mode? thank you

[@q2000drum]

Thanks a bunch, was looking for somethin like this for our Church foyer.

[@visionarybrands]

I’m looking to do the same where I am. Do know of someone that I can pay to walk me through the process?

[@visionarybrands]

Thanks for the video. I’m working on a project for a church and wanted to know can I hire you to walk me through the steps? We are looking to get the device to go directly to a url.

[@doylemaleche9937]

Very informative! Is there a feature install to use the PI as a picture and video kiosk from a thumbdrive? Both video and pictures. We are a STEM organization and want a slide show display of or projects during public events. Thank you for your outstanding work!

[@danielgaray4943]

Can you use this for multiple screens, playing different videos simultaneously?

[@breevwhyman2985]

Teleprompter web site would be handy to know off of you thanks

[@mr.geniussam1670]

thx a lots, your video is awsome, just a little question, how can i schedule videos after uploading them ?

[@SAFACTS]

i have a doubt can we use pi for other operations after installing the pi signag or any signage os

[@digitalranger4259]

I'm just looking for a solution that will boot up and start flipping images from the attached thumb drive.

[@djornfevrier4799]

Hi, I have various questions on implementation. Are you able to have various videos? Are you able to make each video clickable?

[@matthewreid9502]

Hey, I know this video is two years old but wondering if you can remote into this from outside the local network? Thanks.

[@TomWarrenPhotography]

hi, guys. i need advice. I want to display a looped video on a TV. are the earlier versions of Pi able to do this? Are there requirements I need to be aware of to display video? I plan to use an older monitor with VGA input and use an adapter to connect to HDMI coming out of the Pi, unless theres a simpler setup.

[@CrankyCoder]

Just curious.... have you thought of making maybe a 2 button thing to speed up/slow down the teleprompter and turn it in to foot pedals? just a random idea that popped in my head :)

[@finhas8865]

We've came to an era where 300MB is super slim.

I want to create a university touch screen interface with raspberry pi and whenever a student touches it the options got displayed and the class schedules, etc please help me

I tried to set everything up according to this vidéo but nothing happened. My raspi 3+ rev 1.2 showed black screen. Can u please help me. Thanks a lot

[@kaastrup1971]

website does not display right - can the browser support javascript....

[@EmbraceMaking]

Want to try this out but I'm a pi newb and before I create a new image I'm hoping you could let me know if the following is possible... when the user touches a text box does a key board pop up? Also, would it be possible to somehow have something where if the network drops a custom page comes up? I'd like to have a page that comes up where the user can press a button that activates one of the digital outputs on the pi. Thanks!

[@NovaspiritTech]

Yea you can do that with a on screen keyboard program called onboard

[@EmbraceMaking]

@@NovaspiritTech Interesting thanks... are you aware of anything to create a custom 404 error page if the network drops? Or some sort of program that runs and keeps an eye on the network status? I would like to have some kind of fall back in case the network drops. Great video by the way.

[@werekitty93]

Please share what screen you're using for the raspberry pi!

[@DJSeanJ]

seconded

[@sjp770]

Chilipi works well too - any luck finding one that can cache a google login to display password protected content?

[@smidjepeter]

Can you do it with a B + or is that a different kind of Raspberry Pi ?

[@davocc2405]

Is there a way of layering this onto a lite Raspbian install? I want to run with mosquitto_sub and a bunch of standard utils for screen blanking and waking. I have console hdmi suspend working now (can be triggered by script or remote ssh session)

[@lucianorstech]

Você poderia mostrar como posso fazer a configuração para deixar meu Ubuntu do mesmo jeito que o seu, adorei a interface do seu ubuntu!?

Why is OMX only on the RPI?

[@lalalaband]

how to use by rpi4 ?

[@HelloHelloXD]

What the cheapest 7"/10" display for RPi?

[@EdwardCrosby]

This is what I would like to know also. I'm looking for a good inexpensive display for my RPi 4, roughly 7 or 10 inches. I could use something like this digital signage and make a digital photo frame with random photos of my family.

[@josephmama9657]

So I have a unique issue, I can’t use WiFi or hardline. I want to display signage that I load locally. Not transferred over internet. I can’t get ANY devices on the internet in said area.

[@ZebulonPottery]

I know this 9 months later. But you don't need this for local only. Just make a video on capcut using the signs you want to load. Load that video file on a flash drive and play it on any screen that can use a USB.

[@josephmama9657]

@ so this was a ppt that was converted to video and displayed in a gov facility. That’s all I ended up doing. I appreciate you taking the time Zeb. I think I was overthinking it…which I tend to do.

[@davocc2405]

Am currently trying to work out if I can utilise this to use for a switchable display unit by switching TTY output using CHVT (over an SSH session). I want to be able to issue remote commands to switch between a web display, video display and text display; I want to be able to script how it switches as a kind of "send-to" target. Also trying to find a terminal equivalent of xset (which lets you send the system into HDMI power-off or suspend) - the reason for this will be to tie it into an infra-red sensor that will switch of all displays when noone's in the room and then power them all on as you come in without having to reboot. Also is it plausible to stop/start the service program that runs the display rather than restart the entire device (doing this via SSH)?

[@matthewreid9502]

Did you ever do this project? Can you remote into it from outside the local network?

[@davocc2405]

@@matthewreid9502 I managed to get some things working but the Raspberry Pi OS developers treat the video output and handling system like the wild west - not entirely their fault as things seem to work and then stop working with kernel updates. For example - screen blanking after inactivity or by script edict - that's changed three, perhaps four times in method and utility required - and it *doesn't* work consistently for the Zero compared to, say, the 4b. I wanted to be able to issue blanking commands to all screens to turn them into DPMS power save but to retain this functionality I have to not only maintain a very old build (Debian 10 based) but I also have to not update the OS at all as a simple update will replace the kernel and bam, everything stops working for blanking. It's just too inconsistent; every time they update the kernel you are at severe risk of everything suddenly not working. I even tried switching to alternative OS's such as DietPi - some of those actually worked more consistently but I've not really found a happy medium for this build to date.

[@mateuszhalaburda6975]

I have 2 questions: 1. I was install in on pi 0 and run simple website with slide show, but for some reason its look like restarting after 2 slide. any one know why this can be happen? 2. Is there any version to run this on rpi4 I don't have any other rpi than 0W and 4?

[@TOMTOM-nh3nl]

Thank You

I am getting an error when sd care is put in "8 flashes: SDRAM not recognized. You need a newer bootcode.bin/start.elf firmware, or your SDRAM is damaged. Using RP3 and able to run other things such as pi signage but not toldo technik

DietPi is a great solution, as well

just one URL on url.txt ? can show 2 url Changing one and one?

Can you refresh the webpage without rebooting the device so updates can be more live?

No I ended using a windows 11 pc in kiosk mode

That is soooooooooooooooooo Cool!!!!

can we do more than one video like playlist ?

[@exerazore]

On Official Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display the display is upside down. I cannot move the screen because it has a stand. How to fix it?

[@exerazore]

Found it. Add display_rotate=2 in config.txt. Now, It would be awesome touchscreen support for this display.

thanks!
