A set-and-forget player for your projector.

One line to install, a code to pair

On Ubuntu, run the install line on the box; on Windows, paste it into PowerShell. A pairing code fills the projector, you type it into your account, and from then on the box starts with the computer and reconnects by itself.

• Linux: curl -fsSL https://projectorshow.com/install/linux | sudo bash
• Windows: irm https://projectorshow.com/install/windows | iex
• Free plan: displays need no subscription

Playlists and schedules that keep working offline

Rendered shows are copied onto the box and checked, so a dropped Wi-Fi connection does not stop the show. Set what plays when, in your own time zone, and the box follows the schedule on its own.

• Per-display playlists and weekly schedules
• Turns the HDMI signal off between shows, so a projector that sleeps on no signal can power down, and back on at show time
• Pause, skip and jump to any item from the phone remote
• Logs and upload progress for each box on its Logs tab

Live Mode: the box follows the designer

Switch a display to Live and it plays exactly what the designer is showing, so you can line things up on the real house from the lawn.

Screens, sound and remotes

Pick the main screen or mirror two, send sound to HDMI, the headphone jack or a Bluetooth speaker, and set the volume. Phones and small Wi-Fi button remotes can change the show or turn the sound on for a few minutes; several remotes share the same state, so they never fight.

A website on one face of the house

Put a web page you already use, such as a scoreboard or a game-day stream, onto one face of the house. The box opens it in its own browser and corner-pins it to the face you pick, and you scroll, click and type from the remote. Some streaming services block their video from being captured, so check that your service allows playback in a browser.

Share a display with a neighbor

Add a co-owner or a helper, hand the display over, share a sample folder, and let two households take turns with their shows on the same projector.
