Anthias imports content from Yodeck, ScreenCloud, piSignage, and Xibo

If you're moving screens to Anthias from another signage platform, Anthias 2026.07.2 can copy your content across for you. Settings has a new Import content section with 4 platforms: Yodeck, ScreenCloud, piSignage, and Xibo (Xibo Cloud or a self-hosted CMS).

Select the button for the platform you're leaving, such as "Import from Yodeck", and paste your credentials for it. Anthias lists the media it finds there. Pick what you want, and Anthias downloads each item onto the player and adds it as an asset, showing the progress of each one. If some fail, you can retry just those.

What you paste depends on the platform. Anthias uses it for this import only and doesn't store it.

• Yodeck: an API token, from Account Settings > Advanced Settings > API Tokens.
• ScreenCloud: an API token, from Studio > Account Settings > Developer. Anthias works out your region on its own.
• piSignage: your account's subdomain, email and password, joined with colons as subdomain:email:password.
• Xibo: the CMS address, an API application's client ID and its client secret, separated by spaces.

Images and videos come across from all 4 platforms, up to 5 GiB per file. Web pages come across from Yodeck and ScreenCloud. Anything Anthias can't play stays behind and is listed with the reason: audio, documents, and the built-in widgets some platforms draw themselves (weather, clocks, RSS feeds), since a widget's address only works inside the platform it came from.

Imported assets start playing straight away unless you untick "Enable imported assets so they play immediately". Your existing assets aren't touched, and running an import again skips items that came across the first time.

The piSignage and Xibo imports follow those platforms' API documentation and hadn't been tried against a live account when this release shipped.

From the command line

The same import runs over SSH. --dry-run lists what would be imported without copying anything:

cd ~/anthias
sudo docker compose exec anthias-server \
    python -m anthias_server.manage import_content --provider yodeck --token '<credentials>' --dry-run

--provider takes yodeck, screencloud, pisignage or xibo, and --token takes the same credentials the web interface asks for. Leave out --dry-run to run the import.
