What's the easiest & cheapest digital signage solution can i get to display image & video clips on 3 tvs in an office waiting lounge? Scheduler is not involved. Recommendations please. Bravo
Run a Media Server and let the TVs stream from it. Assuming TVs are WiFi enabled, or cabled and are smart. Otherwise, use an HDMI splitter capable of sending the output of a media player to those TVs, connected via HDMI. Off the top of my head and I am not a very technical guy!

True, usb stick is a solution but the challenge is when you have a mix of images & videos clips that should be looped all together. I'm yet to see a TV firmware that supports looping of both at a time. Bravo

So long as the format the videos are in can be read by the TV (MP4?) then the USB solution will work. But if the 3 TV's are to be synchronised (showing the same stuff at the same time) then the splitter solution is a must. Regards, Mutinda.

Hi, What you can do is buy 3 chromecast dongles or 3 Chromebit Dongles. Create content on "Chrome Sign Builder" Then you can schedule content to your liking, including youtube videos etc. If your TVs support USB playback that is the easiest and cheapest. But if you want dynamic content and the ability to monitor the screens use a chromebit. Its 85 USD and its a fuly fledged computer. (Need to import) For the chromecast, create the content on a sample wordpress 1 page template and cast the browser tab to the 3 screens. (You can find chromecasts in OLX) #My2cents.

Hi,
What you can do is buy 3 chromecast dongles or 3 Chromebit Dongles. Create content on "Chrome Sign Builder" Then you can schedule content to your liking, including youtube videos etc. If your TVs support USB playback that is the easiest and cheapest. But if you want dynamic content and the ability to monitor the screens use a chromebit. Its 85 USD and its a fuly fledged computer. (Need to import)
For the chromecast, create the content on a sample wordpress 1 page template and cast the browser tab to the 3 screens. (You can find chromecasts in OLX)
