Question
I'm working for a company with multiple buildings. On each building there are some smart TVs connected to the wired network. Is it possible to share HD videos from a computer to all the TVs?
What I have now
I have created a mini website to show the videos with javascript for the loop. Works well. But every day we need to open the browser to load the website. Can I load the browser on startup?
Some considerations
TV model: Sony kdl-70w855b. If necessary, we can change to LG with webOS.
Videos must be on a loop (no audio needed)
If possible, nobody has to touch the TVs. We have on/off timer.
We have DLNA.
It's not necessary to be in real-time.
I can set up windows/linux servers.
I can't set up a computer/player for every TV.
Chromecast allowed.
I have to use the wired network. No a/v wires allowed.
Can you recommend some software/service to do this?
