1
Open the launch URL on the display device
On the display device (TV browser, Raspberry Pi, or a computer wired to a monitor), type this into the address bar:https://www.localbillboards.net/signin.php -
2
Sign in with the Launch Display card
On the sign-in page, use the orange Launch Display card on the right — not the blue Dashboard one. Enter your username or email and password, then click Launch Display. -
3
Wait for fullscreen
Once you sign in, the page jumps to fullscreen and your scheduled content starts. No rules set yet? Playlist I plays by default. -
4
Lock it in (kiosk mode)
For an always-on screen, set the browser to open this URL automatically at boot:
• Raspberry Pi:@chromium-browser --kiosk https://www.localbillboards.net/signin.phpin yourautostart.
• Smart TV: save the URL as a bookmark or set it as the home page.
• Windows / Mac: a Chrome shortcut with--kiosk <URL>dropped into Startup / Login Items. -
5
Verify the active rule with ?debug=1
Add?debug=1to the URL for a small overlay showing which playlist or menu is scheduled right now — the quickest way to confirm a new rule fires on the right day and time.
Tips & Common Issues
- •The Launch URL is for displays, not editing — on your work computer use the blue Dashboard card instead.
- •Seeing a login page instead of fullscreen? The device likely dropped its session — just sign in again.
- •Browser not going fullscreen on its own? Hit F11.
- •On a Pi, the
--kioskflag also hides the cursor — ideal for unattended setups.
