telescreen-0.3.1

Add support for stream playback (thanks to Daniel Staněk).

telescreen-0.2.3

Reset layout with no plan.

telescreen-0.2.2

Improve cec-client error logging.

telescreen-0.2.1

Added missing dependency on python3-zmq.

telescreen-0.2.0

First stable release.

We have tested it pretty extensively on Fedora 25 but cannot guarantee it would work anywhere else. It still uses the playbin instead of playbin3, which had some issues. It does not leak memory because the playback happens in a background process that gets terminated once finished.

Content, layout and screen power are all scheduled independently. You need to install an Indoktrinátor instance and start the Telescreen as hinted below for it to start grabbing its schedule.

telescreen --cec --connect 'tcp://indoktrinator.example.com:5001'

The --cec flag enables use of cec-tool for screen power control. You probably do not have a CEC adapter on your workstation, so do not use it when experimenting. It will exit immediately otherwise.
