Hello All!

Thank you all for advices.

I started use one in shell and it was nice.

But scope changed a bit.

Actually demand increased. And I am moving to X.

(it is rasp. on many 86" TV).

Weather on background was needed.

Also to show some comercial numbers sometimes. And graphs needs to be shown (all https based).

Hm. Spoke with manager again. OK. Idea to buy x so big TV's just for time was not so clever. We put together some other points ;-)

My direction so far: each rasp is connected R/O to local NAS (where admin can manage content via easy bash script edit like: to show time with weather and every 15 minutes to show some numbers for one minute and then loop - using cvlc or something like that).

Just came new request: to be able to show text on demand. (like "lunch break is moved 30 minutes earlier"). Hm. (loop in 15 minutes is now too long). And fronteend needs to be prepared.

I played a bit with KODI before (kiosk mode, etc.)

So far still looking. Probably to visit some railway stations how they do that ;-)

(BTW, Samsung TV has nice MagicInfo solution, you need few servers, etc etc. Too robust for me...)
