The foyer has two 32“ TVs capable of running images and videos. They run, via a Raspberry Pi, Screenly OSE.

The most popular image formats are supported, such as PNG, JPG, and GIF. Image formats such as BMP however is not supported.

When you prepare images make sure they are as close as possible to 1920x1080px.

Screenly OSE (or the underlaying video player, omxplayer) is pretty picky abut video content. In order for videos to be properly played, they must be encoded as H264 MPEG4 videos. If not, it's likely that the videos won't show up at all.

As long as you properly encode your videos, Screenly OSE can handle 1080p videos beautifully.

Screenly is capable of rendering most websites. However, if the website uses too much JavaScript the result is likely to suffer. To get the best possible result, keep the website as lean as possible and optimize it for 1920×1080.
