About this app:
Turn any Apple TV into reliable digital signage. No subscriptions. No proprietary boxes. Point WildStream at a CSV. It downloads your photos and videos, then plays them on repeat. Works offline after caching. Manage one screen or hundreds.
WHY WILDSTREAM
• Low cost: standard Apple TV hardware, zero monthly fees
• CSV driven: edit one spreadsheet to update every screen
• Offline friendly: playback continues without internet once cached
• Jamf Pro ready: push configuration at scale
• Resilient: skips missing files, no freezes or error popups
• Set and forget: optional auto start and auto check
BEST FOR
Retail, lobbies, menus, events, offices. Anywhere a loop of photos and videos is enough.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
• Full screen photo and video playback
• Local caching to Apple TV storage
• Optional interval to re-fetch the CSV
• Per-device or fleet control via Jamf Pro
HOW IT WORKS
1) Create a CSV with a header row and these columns:
Title, URL, Description (optional), Type, DisplayDuration (seconds for photos)
Example:
Title,URL,Description,Type,DisplayDuration
Sunset,https://example.com/photos/sunset.jpg,Evening sky,Photo,8
Intro,https://example.com/videos/intro.mp4,Welcome clip,Video,
Mountains,https://example.com/photos/mountains.jpg,Scenic view,Photo,10
Spot,https://example.com/videos/spot.mp4,30-second ad,Video,
2) Host the CSV at a stable HTTPS URL. A Raw GitHub Gist works well. Short links are fine if they point to a raw CSV.
3) Add the CSV in the app:
Media Stream URLs → Add New Media Stream URL → paste the HTTPS URL → select it. WildStream downloads the media and starts the loop.
4) Updates:
Enable CSV Auto Check to detect changes. WildStream downloads new items fully and switches playlists at the end of the current loop.
WHAT TO KNOW
• Use direct media links: .jpg .png .mp4
• Order follows the CSV
• DisplayDuration applies to photos only
• First run needs internet to cache files
• Cached media plays without internet after download
• Jamf Pro keys include CSV URL and auto start flag
• See the Support URL for fleet setup details
