How to put Hellocast on your TV
No special media player, no installer. Any TV with a web browser will do.

Make the playlist your own
The TV starts playing a sample playlist straight away. Change the text, upload photos or videos and welcome your first visitor.
Which device are you using?
Smart TV (Samsung, LG, Philips, Sony)
Open the built-in web browser and go to hellocast.eu/tv. Set the TV so it doesn’t switch off automatically, or use its ‘hotel’ or ‘shop/retail’ mode if it has one.
Android TV box or Google TV
Install Fully Kiosk Browser from the Play Store, set hellocast.eu/tv as the start page and turn on ‘Start on boot’. After a power cut, the screen then starts up by itself.
Amazon Fire TV Stick
Install the Silk browser or Fully Kiosk Browser and open hellocast.eu/tv. Fully Kiosk can also start automatically when the TV is switched on.
Raspberry Pi or mini PC
Start Chromium in kiosk mode with hellocast.eu/tv as the address, for example: chromium --kiosk --noerrdialogs https://hellocast.eu/tv. Once paired, the browser remembers its screen.
