I host all ads on a local web server that shares the same network as the kiosk/display (raspberry pi) and Roku TV. This makes it faster to download on first load and saves bandwidth. Along with this I use a script ran from a cron job to turn the screens on and off at a specified time. **For some reason I dont want to research now. The first line will uninstall the GUI.** | Code Block |
