TV Dashboard

A simple wrapper to run a dashboard with Chromium, cycling though the tabs. Has very minimal dependencies and is suitable for a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.

Prerequisites

  • Some kind of Debian based OS (I'm using Raspbian).
  • A user who can run sudo commands.
  • If using Raspberry Pi you may need to get rid of a black border with some monitors/TVs: /boot/config.txt - disable_overscan=1

Bootstrap

Clone this repository to the computer running the dashboard.

Run the following command to install dependencies (for Debian based OS) and setup autologin:

./bootstrap.sh

Add the URLs you want to cycle through to urls.txt, one URL per line. Ideally these should not require logins, but you can modify xsession if you need to send any key presses after page load.

Running

Restart and the dashboard should come up with no additional interaction required.
