What the Linux player supports

Instant cloud push

Publishes arrive the moment you send them, with automatic check-ins as backup, no manual refresh at the box.

Full scheduling

Once, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly schedules plus per-item playlist recurrence, content flips itself on time.

Screenshots and proof-of-play

On-demand screenshots, an uptime timeline and playback logs verify every Linux screen remotely.

Secure by default

ISO 27001-certified platform with GDPR compliance, VAPT testing, audit logs and role-based team access.

Why teams pick Linux for signage

Linux suits teams that want signage boxes to behave like appliances: no license cost on the OS, no forced update reboots mid-loop, and hardware choices from fanless thin clients to whatever desktop is spare. Install the player once, pair it, and the box needs no further hands-on attention, publishing, scheduling, restarts and monitoring all happen from the cloud dashboard.

The management layer is identical across the fleet. A Linux box in the canteen shares groups, tags and schedules with Windows PCs in meeting rooms and Android boxes at reception, and proof-of-play logs treat them all the same. For low-power machines, playlist stitching renders the whole loop as one video so playback stays smooth.

One boundary worth knowing before you buy hardware: Raspberry Pi is not supported. If ARM-cheap is the goal, Android boxes fill that slot; if zero-install is the goal, the Web Player runs in any modern browser. The full line-up is on the platforms hub, then take the 14-day free trial for a spin.

Digisigns on Linux: FAQs

Does Digisigns run on Raspberry Pi?
No, there is no Raspberry Pi build. For similarly priced hardware, an Android signage box running the Digisigns APK or a small x86 Linux mini PC are the supported routes.
Which Linux distributions are supported?
Follow the install guide at docs.digisigns.in/app-installation/ for current supported setups and step-by-step instructions for your machine.
Can Linux screens mix with other platforms?
Yes. Linux players join the same dashboard, groups and schedules as Android, Windows, macOS, Tizen, webOS, ChromeOS and NovaStar screens, one publish reaches them all.
What does a Linux signage screen cost?
The player software is free. Plans start at $20 per screen per month ($220 per year), with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required.

Other platforms

Also runs on

Android

One APK turns an Android box, tablet or Android TV into a managed screen. Pair it with a short code, publish from the cloud, and control restarts, brightness and volume without touching the device again.

Windows

Install one .exe and any Windows machine, a mini PC behind a display, an OPS module, or a spare desktop, becomes a cloud-managed screen with instant publishing and remote control.

Samsung Tizen

Digisigns runs natively on Samsung's Tizen-powered SSSP commercial displays, so the screen is the player, no external box, no extra cables, one less device to fail.

LG webOS

LG's webOS commercial displays are system-on-chip signage: install the Digisigns app on the panel itself, pair it with a short code, and skip the media player entirely. Supported on webOS 4.0 to 6.0.
