City Facility TV Display Documentation

This repository contains tips, tricks, and setup instructions for cityssm/tv-display based TV Displays.

The Main Setup

Setups can greatly vary depending on your environment, with the basic steps as follows.

1. Clone or download the cityssm/tv-display repository to a web server.

   The web server can run on the machine that will be displaying the content, or on another machine that will be visible to the display machine over a network connection.

2. Build a config.json file, defining the content that will be shown.

3. Open a web browser on the display machine and point it at the display configuration.

   To load the default.json configuration, for example, the link might be: http://localhost/tv-display/?config=default
