Thanks for the link Rob! As much as I like greenscreen there is a push here to use some Pi's, we got one of each (pi and chromecast) so might have to see which one will be better... | |

In terms of setup if you already have linux boxes you could put Docker on one and then just start up a container with greenscreen such as https://github.com/tomologic/docker-greenscreen | |

I'd run it on it's own ringfenced VLAN with a hidden SSID here, any guidance on what to use would be greatly received! | |

Will ask them for guidance on it If I remember correctly from talking about it you need to be careful with giving people details to it because there's no authentication mechanism leaving it open to abuse. At work it's on a private SSID on an isolated network bridged to a lab environment that runs the VM's. But they demonstrated how they can take control over all of them in case of a fire alarm or major incident ect - but they used various animated GIF's to take the piss :lol: | |

RPi and Chromium; only downside is the lack of GPU acceleration but unless the webpage is filled with JS animations/videos/gifs then it should be fine. quote: This isn't a bad shout tbh; the linux variant is around £70/80. [Edited on 28-07-2015 by Dom] | |

Richie - have you deployed it? Can you lend me a hand with how you set it up - ie the server side setup - what flavour of linux (I use ubuntu server 14.04 UTS for the 3 linux servers I have here), what to install? | |

greenscreen looks good but unsure how mature the project is? | |

Would a chromecast running www.greenscreen.io do the job? | |

Banggood does the Android sticks for about £30 and a full windows 7 PC stick for about £70.. | |

I want to display a webpage on a TV at work, I'm trying to avoid connecting it up by a long VGA cable and thought perhaps this would be a good application for a Intel NUC or one of them android TV stick things? what are the current options out there? a Intel NUC does seem very overkill for just displaying a page. |
