Quick follow up video to explain the networked digital displays running on a couple of old WIN10 PC's I wasn't using and repurposed them along with some digital screens that were collecting dust. You can have them wake on LAN, however I am using smart switches instead. Especially during the pandemic, this was a fun way to create the commotion and sensory overload you feel being at a game (to a small degree anyway!)
Apps used:
Use your phone as a mouse pad/ keyboard: https://www.unifiedremote.com/
I use this app to push images to the PC's powering the displays: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skyjos.apps.fileexplorerfree&hl=en&gl=US
I use this app to automatically scale and display the videos/ gifs/ images: https://pictureflect.com/
Setup so this launches on startup. WIN10 will remember when you have it full screen and will start that way when you turn on again.
Some advice: Key is make this as less of a hassle to turn on, hence the use of smart switches. I have the display and the PC on the same smart switch (check in your PC BIOS for an option to turn on when there is power). Ensure on WIN 10 you have auto log on enabled. Perhaps your router doesn't change internal IPs too often, but best to reserve the one your PC is assigned as well the your media player. This way it will be easier with FE Explorer to login to your pc. for Pictureflect: be sure to enable the apps to start when the PC starts. Windows will remember the window size as well and suggest to leave it maximized. I never do a proper shutdown and with SSD drives it's never been an issue. If you have more questions or suggestions to further automate leave me a comment!
