Our own operating system for signage: what it does, how to get it, networking, and updates.
ScreenlyOS is the operating system we build and maintain for digital signage. It replaces everything on the device, so the device runs Screenly and nothing else, and one vendor is answerable for the whole thing.
Two things come before everything else in it: security, because a screen is a computer on your network in a public space, and reliability, because a screen that needs attention costs more than it earns.
What ScreenlyOS is, what it does that a general-purpose system cannot, and the routes to a device running it.
Get a device running ScreenlyOS, pair it with your workspace, and confirm the screen is healthy before you leave it.
Install ScreenlyOS on hardware you supply: a Raspberry Pi you flash yourself, or a Scala player converted with an image from support.
What a ScreenlyOS player needs from your network: outbound hostnames and ports, Wi-Fi and static IP setup, 802.1X, time servers, and what each diagnostic error means.
