Anthias (formerly Screenly OSE) is a free, open-source digital signage platform that turns a Raspberry Pi or x86 PC into a networked media player. It provides a web dashboard for uploading images, videos, and web pages, scheduling their playback, and managing the device remotely, with a REST API for automation.
Use cases
- turn a raspberry pi into a digital sign
- schedule images and videos on a lobby screen
- display a live dashboard or web page on a TV
- self-hosted digital signage without subscriptions
- play youtube videos on a kiosk screen without ads
- manage signage content via a REST API
- show different playlists on weekdays vs weekends
When to choose
- you want free, self-hosted signage on hardware you already own (Raspberry Pi 2-5 or x86)
- you need date, day-of-week, and time-of-day scheduling with no cloud lock-in
- you want to display web pages, videos, images, and YouTube content on one screen
- you prefer programmatic content management via REST API
When to avoid
- you need centralized multi-screen management, enterprise user management, or professional support (use Screenly cloud instead)
- you need a fully managed SaaS signage solution
- your hardware is not a Raspberry Pi, 64-bit x86 PC, or supported 64-bit ARM SBC
