Yep, but it’s sff (not micro) and you would want to replace the HDD with an SSD.

42

Not sure what that means or what the difference is

Then I guess not, I am looking for something I can just buy one computer with a power cord and just plug in the power and plug in the monitor and it will work

43

Bigger

Understandable, but also about 1 minute to change the drive.

44

Oh that is not an issue as I have a cabinet box thing its going inside of

You don’t need one, but you will probably want one once you use an OS with an HDD.

I wanted you to quickly read the docs

Option B — Custom Android TV WebView APK

Build a minimal Android TV app whose only Activity is a full-screen WebView pointed at display-legacy.html (or a hosted URL). Sideload via ADB, set as default launcher.

Skeleton (Kotlin, MainActivity.kt):

class MainActivity : Activity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON)
        window.decorView.systemUiVisibility =
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN or
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY or
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
        val wv = WebView(this).apply {
            settings.javaScriptEnabled = true
            settings.domStorageEnabled = true
            settings.cacheMode = WebSettings.LOAD_DEFAULT
            loadUrl("https://khalyereim.org/display-legacy.html")
        }
        setContentView(wv)
    }
}

Manifest needs <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME"/> on the launcher activity, INTERNET permission, and the android.software.leanback feature for Android TV.

Nah, for a shul stick with mini pc or pi, you never want to connect these TVs to the Internet in a shul they have a kind of their own. Use it as a display.

55

I don’t have it yet, I am still looking for the easiest cheapest thing that will work to render this page clearly and will be able to load properly

Weren’t you on this months ago?

What was wrong with those options

57

It was not my desicion and they didn’t want to spend that much, the one they have barely works though

they want something cheap

58

That WAS cheap

What do they want to spend? $5?

I think 200 or less total

Is that possible?

Why would just a tv without a computer not work?

60

First of all, these TVs are cheap because they make money by showing ads. Second, it’s a whole headache to set another launcher (which you may or may not want to deal with).

Three, tell them to spend the extra hundred on a setup that will last a long time and actually operate the way they want it to.
