   The dumbest side by side

   YoDeck is awesome for what it is intended for... DIGITAL SIGNAGE! Dropbox is also good for it's intended purpose... CLOUD STORAGE!

   Comparing these two against each other is like comparing an apple to a ballcap... they are completely unrelated. Therefore this comparison is the dumbest of all time!

• Looking for Advice

  Yodeck works offline for up to 30-45 days. It is free for a single screen and the 4GB Player costs $99/unit (unless you have some other player hardware you would like to use, so no need to buy that). As soon as you get it online, it should update the content. Just make sure that you have a big enough data plan. Source: 12 months ago

• PBi Report on smart TVs

  We use Yodeck for that. Of course getting a Raspberry Pi right now is the issue. Source: about 1 year ago

• Power BI

  Yodeck connects to PowerBI directly from each Player, not from the backend. We do have many customers displaying PowerBI dashboard, and we are now building an even better integration. You could try it out - order a Player for $79, try it out, and if it does not work as you need it, you can always return it and get a refund. Source: about 2 years ago

• Want to make seniors reminder board with R.Pi 4 and monitor

  You might want to check out Yodeck. It’s a hosted solution and you get one free player. They have an image to install on your pi. Source: over 2 years ago

• What are you rewriting in rust?

  I'm writing a Rust digital signage player very heavily influenced by info-beamer, with a focus more on local intranet control: https://github.com/superlou/signrs. You develop a signage application in JavaScript with drawing functions, and the player runs it cross-platform (including Raspberry Pi), and provides a web server for remote control.

• Godot 3.5.2 on Raspberry Pi 3B < 20 FPS

  I am trying to port a digital signage application I built on info-beamer to Godot. The application is expected to run full-screen on a set of Raspberry Pi 3Bs (at least until Pi 4s are back in stock), preferably with 1600x900 px resolution or better since the application is mostly drawing text.

• A friend of mine set up these TVs in his bar, where they sometimes show live TV. How can we get rotated content to play across all of the screens together?

  I would suggest you check out info-beamer.com and trueomni.com . I am using info-beamer on several displays in commercial situations and it has worked well. I haven't tried rotating to an angle but you should be able to map the screens as if they are level and play the content across them all. Source: over 1 year ago

• Local BBQ chain. Simple menu display.

  You might also try out info-beamer (full disclosure: operated by my company) if you have 30 minutes of spare time. Unlike pisignage and yodeck, it's not based on Raspberry Pi OS and implements some reliability features they cannot easily add like: Complete OS image verified every boot to detect any corruption, OS always read-only even during OS upgrades thanks to A/B booting, 100% power loss safe and highly...
