Need help identifying the best solution for my use case
One of my clients has several gyms across town. Each gym has anywhere from 2 to 12 displays.
Each has a FireStick with a side-loaded custom android app. Essentially, the app pings a URL, gets a JSON payload, and rotates each image in a crossfade carousel. The backend which produces the payload (duration, file, location, etc) resides on their website. We want to keep it.
They recently asked if they could add a few 30-second 4K videos (no audio), so I tested it and ran into some hardware/performance issues.
I'm thinking I should steer them toward Raspberry Pi 4, however I'm not a python developer. I'm sure I could make something work if I were set in the right direction. Any hardware/software suggestions would be appreciated. I feel like every rabbit hole I go down leads me to more paid subscriptions and abandonware.
