Why browser-based matters
A browser display is easier to deploy across different screens. It can work on a smart TV browser, wall tablet, monitor connected to a mini PC or Raspberry Pi kiosk setup.

Browser-based poster display for home cinema rooms
Poster Player is designed so the display does not need to be a powerful computer or dedicated app. A suitable browser screen can become the cinema poster display.
The bridge does the source work
The display can stay lightweight because the local bridge reads available playback state inside the customer network and sends the useful status to Poster Player.
Good for multi-screen customers
A browser-based model makes it easier to link more than one screen in a customer setup without installing a separate native app on every display.
Useful for AV installers
Installers can add a premium visual layer to a cinema room using screens the customer already owns or simple dedicated display hardware.
FAQ
Browser-based poster display FAQ
Do I need a native TV app?
No. Poster Player is designed around browser-based displays where the screen can keep the display URL open.
Can a Raspberry Pi run the display?
Yes, a Raspberry Pi-style kiosk setup is one of the intended hardware directions for lightweight browser display use.
Can I use a tablet?
Yes. Tablets are a good fit for control-area or wall-mounted poster displays.
Does the browser screen read my devices directly?
Usually no. The local bridge handles source detection, while the display presents the result.
