Pushing content out to networked TV's

Banzai_Joe · 8 Dec 2016 at 12:45

Hi all,
I've been asked if i can push some content or customised screensaver out to all our networked Samsung Smart TV's.
Anyone know how to do this please?
Be it from a smart device app or windows pc/server etc.

Any advice appreciated.
Cheers

We use a company called OneLan. Their boxes are pretty cool.

not sure if this helps , but my panasonic tv has a built in media server and it picks up content from my nas which is networked from the other side of the house

Thank bully, i've contacted them an will await a response.

signs; yeah, but i need to be able to control it all centrally. My experience of media servers on any device is that you control the content from the device, not anywhere else.
Unless i'm wrong on this. (could be, often am :rolleyes:

).

https://screen.cloud/ - I been using this for more than 2 years now, it is essentially digital signage. I think this will do what you require.

Thanks for that.
So, how do you use yours then? We have Samsung TVs and all have appletv connected to them. But it seems that appletv isn't the right solution for screencloud.
Do you use chromeu or fire tv? Or is there a native app for the Samsung tv?

Fire TV or a Chrome stick will work.

I am using Sony Android TVs and another screen is just going via a Chrome browser on windows. So options are plentiful.

They have lots of apps available to connect feeds from news sites, Social media sites and many other things...
