Background: We are using Brightsign media players (Brightsign own Roku, so some of the coding is similar) for digital signage purposes in a few African countries. To the laymen, the free BrightAuthor software is a bit daunting to use, so for certain clients, we want to just add RSS and MRSS feeds on different zones on the signage screens, and allow the user to login to a portal to add/remove pictures/videos that the player will pick up when it checks for updates
Current: I am creating a web app that allows a user to login to the portal, and have access rights to edit the RSS and MRSS feeds for particular signs, upload pictures and videos, Each picture needs a unique GUID which is created when it is uploaded, and that is what the player looks at when it looks for an update.
Platform: PHP/MySQL on linux server. I can run cron, but have no ssh access
Needs: Am a lazy ass manager now,who doesnt have much time to learn tech anymore, and come from an ASP/MSSQL background, so am looking for projects that i can adapt to my needs. I can string together something, but it won't stand up to full commercial use. I have installed simplepie to help me collect and cache news and weather feeds for the screens, but it will not easily allow for manuallly adding feeds. Do you know of anything which will be able to assist me
Budget: ZAR 1/log(3.141592^100)
