WildStream: Simple, Low-Cost Digital Signage for Apple TV WildStream turns any Apple TV into a reliable media loop for photos and videos—no monthly fees or special equipment. It reads an optional CSV file to know which images and clips to show, automatically caches them for offline playback, and can be centrally managed through Jamf Pro if desired. Key features include: • Easy CSV Management: Provide a spreadsheet listing media URLs; WildStream updates automatically when that file changes. If you prefer a static loop, just load a single CSV once. • Offline-Friendly: Once files are downloaded, they remain on Apple TV. If the network drops or the device restarts without internet, previously cached media continues to play. • Optional Settings: Enable auto-start so the loop begins immediately, or set a check interval to periodically re-fetch the CSV. All are configurable—and can be left off if not needed. • Jamf Pro Integration: Push configurations (like the CSV URL or auto-start flag) to multiple Apple TVs at once, streamlining large deployments. More details are available on the developer’s site. • Resilient Playback: If a file is missing or the network is unavailable, WildStream seamlessly skips over that item and continues the loop—no freezing or error screens. Because it uses widely available Apple TV hardware, WildStream eliminates recurring subscription costs and complex signage systems. It’s an affordable, flexible way to display your images and videos with minimal hassle—whether in a single store or across multiple locations.
