Finally got infobeamer working on a Raspberry Pi 5 after two days of pain that ended when I replaced a perfectly good, known-working SD card with another brand new card. Fuuuu......
Huge props to Florian Wesch at info-beamer for patiently working through everything else that could possibly be wrong, especially as it was 100% not his fault that an SD card supplied by an official Pi distributor (and even branded "Raspberry Pi") was the problem. Actually TWO of them were, which is why it took so long to accept the possibility that the cards were the problem.
Once the thrice-curséd card was replaced, the promised ten-minute install really did happen! Totally simple and straightforward.
Anyway, ended up with a working digital signage solution. A GOOD one. And amazingly it's free for minor use - it only costs if you go over a GB of data or have more than one display. Well, you do need to supply the infrastructure: Like a Pi, SD card, cables, display and an Internet connection.
Even if you need to pay for it it's ridiculously cheap.
So, if you need digital signage, do yourself a favour and check out info-beamer (info-beamer.com). And they are on Mastodon, too, how good is that :-)
