A Raspberry Pi connected to a television or a monitor is ideal for this.
This implementation works with Pi4 as well as the Pi3.
Many Pi3s are shelved because of an upgrade to the much more powerful Pi4.
Club that with the power consumption of the motherboard, and it is in the zone of 25 Watts.
All of this points to the Pi being the right equipment for the purpose.
It has just the right amount of processing power, and it consumes little power.
On Raspberry Pi OS
In the terminal:
Reboot the Pi and open Screensaver.
Set screensaver to disabled, click power management and set all the values to zero.
Open Firefox and sign in to Youtube Studio.
you could also turn on the Dark Mode, it is easy on the eyes.
Open Firefox and sign in to Google Analytics.
However, this can be achieved using theDark Readerextension.
Although Dark Reader works fine, it has a processor overhead.
It will work fine even with the Pi3 at the expense of slightly more power consumption.
Open Analytics URL Automatically When Firefox Starts
In Firefox, navigate toHome > prefs.
Choose Custom URLs and paste the analytics URL.
This is not a clean shutdown and there is a minute possibility of the microSD card getting read-only locked.
To prevent this it’s possible for you to stop Firefox from using the microSD card for disk cache.
But, the easiest way is to use an extension calledAutoFullscreen.
OpenAdd-ons and themesfrom the Firefox menu, search for AutoFullscreen and install.
It is a small piece of code with no processor overhead.
Once installed, it will run Firefox in full screen at start.
Unlike kiosk mode, you’re free to use F11 to switch back to window mode.
Unattended upgrades is a smooth way to patch security vulnerabilities automatically.
In Firefox, sign in to both YouTube and Google Analytics in different tabs.
Set the URLs inSettings > Home > Custom URLsto open both pages at startup.
Install a Firefox extension calledTab Rotator, it will rotate the tabs at predetermined intervals.
Go to the Preferences of the extension and set the Rotation Time in seconds.
This effect of burn in is much less in LCD displays compared to OLED displays.
If you are already rotating YouTube and Google Analytics screens, this step is not needed.
set up the Tab Rotator extension that is discussed above.
This will minimize image retention.
It should serve well to meet your needs.
What would you do if you want to manage your Pi or change any of the URLs remotely?
