Screenbutler admin
ResilientThe TV app keeps playing from cache when the network drops and shows a clock screensaver if the server is unreachable — then recovers on its own.
Multi-companyManage several companies with one account. Every change is tracked: who, what, when, and which screens were affected.
API firstEverything the UI does is plain JSON over HTTP. Push an announcement from a cron job, Home Assistant or n8n.
English & GermanAdmin, player and TV app are fully bilingual; each screen can have its own language.
