In what seems like a lifetime ago now, 2017, I had a requirement to control a number of TV’s being used as multi-use displays in an office environment. With one of the in-house dev’s we hacked together a PHP web-app to send content to Kodi endpoints connected to these TV’s hung around the office. It never quite reached v1 but it worked rotating image & video content whilst supporting real-time notifications via webhook.
The current version is focused more on working code than looking pretty, but it is my hope to get things back to how it looked originally. We have a roadmap of workable ideas, some already implemented but we’ve lost a skilled developer. Sadly the app fell into disrepair as I moved on from the org it was running at.
Come December 2022, ChatGPT helped me start this project off from scratch, the current state is written by me with help from GPT3. I intend to slowly add features to this as a way of learning PHP, but I have no use for this anymore. I know others found this an interesting project – it was mentioned on stage during MS Build 2017 – and so i’d love nothing more to provide an open-source project to fill the niche requirement.
