Quick follow up video to explain the networked digital displays running on a couple of old WIN10 PC's I wasn't using and repurposed them along with some digital screens that were collecting dust. Had quite a few people request a better explanation.
Apps used:
https://www.movieposterapp.com/
https://github.com/Ghawken/FrontView/releases/tag/1.310

The third app I kept referring to in the video called "Picture Perfect" is not correct. It's actually called Pictureflect https://pictureflect.com/ Just search for animated GIF Movie Posters online, there are 100s, just save them in a folder and and point Pictureflect to it. Setup so this launches on startup. WIN10 will remember when you have it full screen and will start that way when you turn on again.

Kodi skin I use: Aeon MQ 8

Some advice: Key is make this as less of a hassle to turn on, hence the use of smart switches. I have the display and the PC on the same smart switch (check in your PC BIOS for an option to turn on when there is power). Ensure on WIN 10 you have auto log on enabled. This will ensure it is seamless. Perhap your router doesn't change internal IPs too often, but best to reserve the one your PC is assigned as well the your media player. I mention Kodi in the video however you can also setup Frontview if you use Plex or Emby (I don't use those however see the options in Frontview. Movie Poster App is supposed to have Frontview functionality natively as well for automation to show runtimes, however the app hasn't been updated in a while and I couldn't get it to work with the latest Kodi. Still a great app to automatically pull posters and genres you prefer. Be sure to enable the apps to start when the PC starts. Windows will remember the window size as well and suggest to leave it maximized. I never do a proper shutdown and with SSD drives it's never been an issue.
