Video CMS system recommendations?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/sysadmin

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • xibo

    Xibo Digital Signage

  • The rest of our signage uses Xibo (on Android players), which no longer explicitly supports the rPI, but you might be able to get one of their dists to run. They offer perpetual licenses, though make sure what they have on offer will work for you.

  • Anthias

    The world's most popular open source digital signage project.

  • We used to use the Open Source Edition of Screenly. If you're okay with managing each display separately by IP it might be a workable option, though time consuming. Paid version offers a centralized CMS, but I haven't tried it.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pisignage

    Digital Signage Player Software for Raspberry Pi, more details at

  • Currently running two rPI players using piSignage, which gives you two player licenses for free. Cloud managed and really fast.
