Which player
Start with the hardware behind the screen
Each player runs on one kind of hardware. Pick the one for the hardware you have, or plan to buy. You manage every screen from the same Wyndlass, whichever player it runs.
An Android box or display
Wyndlass Player for Android, from the download page
For screens that only play. Set up as the box’s Device Owner, the player runs it as a kiosk: it starts with the box, with no status bar or lock screen, and you can reboot the box and turn its screen off and on from Wyndlass.
- Runs on
- Android 8.0 or later, with Android System WebView 94 or later
- Updates
- You install each new version over the old one. The screen stays paired.
An Android device with Google Play
Wyndlass Player on Google Play
For tablets, and for devices your EMM manages through managed Google Play. It leaves out the camera and Bluetooth beacons, and it can’t reboot the device or turn its screen off.
- Runs on
- Android 8.0 or later, with Google Play and a Google account
- Updates
- Google Play updates it.
An Amazon Signage Stick
Wyndlass Player for the Amazon Signage Stick
Plug it into a TV’s HDMI port. From Wyndlass you can reboot it, update it, record a short video of the screen, clear its cache and factory reset it, and turn the TV on and off and mute it where the TV allows HDMI-CEC control.
- Runs on
- The Amazon Signage Stick, which Amazon manages
- Updates
- Amazon’s Appstore updates it.
A BrightSign player
Wyndlass Player for BrightSignEarly access
Copy one file to an SD card, and the player installs itself and starts with the box. On its first start it turns off the box’s local diagnostic web server, SSH, telnet and web inspector.
- Runs on
- BrightSign Series 5 and 6, with BrightSign OS 9.1.151 or later
- Updates
- From a USB drive. One drive updates any number of players, and each stays paired.
A Linux PC
Wyndlass Player for LinuxEarly access
A package for Ubuntu and Debian, and an AppImage for other desktops. For now you start it from the desktop and it fills the screen. A kiosk mode that starts with the computer is coming.

Samsung and LG displays: there is no player for Samsung Tizen or LG webOS. Plug an Android box, an Amazon Signage Stick or a BrightSign player into the display.

Android, three ways
Which Android player?
The Android player comes three ways. They play the same content. What differs is where you get it, how it updates and how much of the box it can control.
| Feature | AndroidFrom the download page | AndroidOn Google Play | Amazon Signage Stick |
|---|---|---|---|
| Getting it | |||
| Where to get it | The download page | Google Play | Amazon’s Appstore |
| Updates | You install each version | By Google Play | By Amazon’s Appstore |
| Running the box | |||
| Runs as a kiosk, with no status bar or lock screen | As Device Owner | Amazon manages the stick | |
| Reboot from Wyndlass | As Device Owner | ||
| Screen off and on from Wyndlass | As Device Owner | Where the TV allows HDMI-CEC | |
| Update, record the screen, clear the cache and factory reset from Wyndlass | |||
| Sensors | |||
| People at the screen, with a camera | |||
| Bluetooth beacons | |||
All three can be identified, synced, restarted and screenshotted from Wyndlass. Device Owner is an Android mode, set when the box is installed from its factory settings.
Set up a screen
Install, connect, pair
Installing a player needs no Wyndlass role. To pair the screen, you need Installer, Operator, Admin or Owner at the place it goes.
Check the network
The screen needs to reach Wyndlass over HTTPS, and connect.wyndlass.ai on TCP port 4222. The full list is beside these steps.
Install the player
As below, for your hardware. Once it starts, it shows a pairing code: six characters and a QR code.
Join Wi-Fi, or set a proxy
If the screen needs either, open its settings page: press Menu on a remote, tap the top-left corner five times, touch and hold for two seconds, or press Ctrl+Shift+S on a keyboard.
Pair it
In Wyndlass, open Devices, choose Add screen, type the code and choose the screen’s place. Or scan the QR code with your phone. The screen starts playing that place’s content.
Lock its settings
Set a Screen PIN of 6 to 12 digits, so only people you trust can open a paired screen’s settings. Until you set one, they stay locked.
What a screen needs to reach
- Outgoing HTTPS, port 443
api.wyndlass.aicdn.wyndlass.aidata.wyndlass.ai- Outgoing TCP, port 4222, directly and never through a proxy
connect.wyndlass.ai- To download a player
releases.wyndlass.ai
Screenshots upload over HTTPS to an address Wyndlass gives with each request.
Requirements in the docsInstall the player
Android, from the download page
- On the box, open its browser and go to
releases.wyndlass.ai/android/latest.apk. - When Android asks, allow the browser to install unknown apps.
- Open the downloaded file, choose Install, then open Wyndlass Player.
For a kiosk, make the player the box’s Device Owner: reset the box to its factory settings, tap the same spot on the first welcome screen six times, and scan the QR code on the download page. The page lists the same values for zero-touch enrollment or an EMM.
From a computer, download the player, then install it with adb, using the file’s name:
adb install -r wyndlass-player-<version>.apkA box set up as Device Owner leaves it only through another factory reset. To update the player, install the new version the same way.
Install the Android player- On the box, open its browser and go to
Android, on Google Play
- Install Wyndlass Player from Google Play, or approve it in managed Google Play and send it to your devices from your EMM.
- Open it. It shows a pairing code.
To have the player start again after the device restarts, make it the device’s home app.
Amazon Signage Stick
- Get Wyndlass Player from Amazon’s Appstore for your stick.
- Once it is on the stick, it shows a pairing code.
Don’t install the download page’s Android file on a stick: the stick gets its player from Amazon.
BrightSign Early access
- Download
autorun.zipfrom the download page, and copy it to the root of an empty SD card. Keep its name. - Put the card in the player and turn it on. It installs itself, restarts and shows a pairing code.
To update, copy the new
autorun.zipto a USB drive, put it in the player and restart it. Take the drive out when the screen says the new version is installed.Start with an empty card: an
autorun.brsleft by another player would run instead. With a USB keyboard, Ctrl+Shift+S opens the settings page.- Download
Linux Early access
On Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Debian 12, download and install the package, then give your account the player’s data folder, once:
wget -O wyndlass-player.deb \ https://releases.wyndlass.ai/linux/latest-amd64.deb sudo apt install ./wyndlass-player.deb sudo install -d -o "$USER" -m 700 /var/lib/wyndlass-playerThen start
wyndlass-playerfrom that account’s desktop. It fills the screen and shows a pairing code.On 64-bit Arm, use the arm64 package. For other desktops, the download page has an AppImage and how to run it. To update, install the new package the same way.
Latest releases
Keep every player up to date
Store players update themselves. Players from the download page don’t: you install each new version, and the screen stays paired.
The download page has the current version
releases.wyndlass.ai lists each player’s current version, the date it was published and its SHA-256 checksum, so you can check a download before you install it.
Stores update their own players
Google Play and Amazon’s Appstore deliver new versions of their players themselves, with nothing to install by hand.

Go to releases.wyndlass.aiPlayers: common questions
Which players does Wyndlass support?
Android 8.0 or later, from Google Play or our download page, and the Amazon Signage Stick. Players for BrightSign and Linux are in early access, and a player for Windows is coming.
Which player should I choose?
Use the player for the hardware your screens already have. If you are choosing hardware, an Android box with the player as its Device Owner, or an Amazon Signage Stick, gives Wyndlass the most control: either can be rebooted, and its screen turned off and on, from Wyndlass.
Do I need a Wyndlass account?
Yes. Until it is paired, a player shows only its pairing code. Access to Wyndlass is by invitation during launch.
Does the player cost anything?
The player itself is free. Wyndlass is priced per screen, so each screen you pair counts toward your plan.
Does the player update itself?
From Google Play or Amazon’s Appstore, yes: the store updates it. From the download page, no: install the new version over the old one, and the screen stays paired. The download page always has the current version.
Can a screen move between the download page’s player and Google Play’s?
Only by installing again. Uninstall one, install the other and pair the screen again. To keep its name, place and content, pair it as the replacement for the screen it was.
What happens when a screen loses its connection?
It keeps playing what it last received. Content stays valid for 7 days without a connection; after that, the screen keeps playing and reports itself as stale. It sends its proof of play when it reconnects.
Is there a player for Samsung or LG displays?
No. There is no player for Samsung Tizen or LG webOS. Plug an Android box, an Amazon Signage Stick or a BrightSign player into the display instead.
Does it run on a Raspberry Pi?
It has not been tested on one yet.
What does early access mean?
An early access player is on the download page to try, and some of its features are still to come, such as kiosk mode on Linux. Talk to us before you roll one out across your screens.
