French startup MMPhygital has developed EasyDK (Easy Digital Key) open-source, Python-based cloud media platform designed for Raspberry Pi 3 & 4 SBC’s that allows users to manage and view media content from local storage or cloud storage (2GB free) using a web management interface.
The solution acts as a media center with the interface providing access to movies, video streaming, and photos, but you can also display documents such as Microsoft Office files or PDF presentations.
Other features include:
- Dynamic display – manage a network of connected screens remotely (similar to Digital Signage solution)
- Remote office- Connect to a remote computer using AnyDesk plugin
- Add-Ons – Add your own module
- Cloud management – Control EasyDK remotely using the cloud platform to deploy media, launch content automatically, etc..
- BLE / IP remote control – Use your smartphone as a Bluetooth or IP remote control
- Wireless external hard drive
- Secure Internet Access Point – Deploy a Wi-Fi or 4G internet access point from your Raspberry Pi board.
If you’d like to give it a try, a Raspbian based EasyDK firmware mage can be installed on a 16GB Micro SD card. You can check the source code, and especially deploy.sh script on their repository. Deploy.sh script installs a bunch a common packages for networking & Bluetooth, Chromium with DRM support and the company’s totemhome plugin, AnyDesk package, Flask interface Python development framework, etc…
