# Kiwy Signage Player - Windows Edition
Build and run the Kiwy digital signage player on Windows as a standalone `.exe`.
## 📋 Requirements Analysis
The original app was built for **Raspberry Pi (Linux)**, using these technologies:
| Component | Original (RPi/Linux) | Windows Equivalent |
|-----------|---------------------|-------------------|
| **GUI** | Kivy 2.3+ | Kivy 2.3+ (works cross-platform) |
| **Video** | ffpyplayer | ffpyplayer (needs FFmpeg DLLs) |
| **Card Reader** | evdev (Linux input) | **Not available** — gracefully disabled |
| **Screen Keep-Awake** | xset, xdotool, Wayland | `SetThreadExecutionState` (Win32 API) |
| **Weblink** | chromium-browser (kiosk) | Chrome/Edge (--kiosk mode) |
| **Audio** | ALSA/PulseAudio | DirectSound |
| **Window Backend** | SDL2 (Wayland/X11) | SDL2 (Windows native) |
| **OpenGL** | Desktop GL | ANGLE (DirectX wrapper) |
### What works on Windows
- ✅ Media playback (images, videos via ffpyplayer)
- ✅ Playlist sync from DigiServer (HTTP/HTTPS)
- ✅ Touch & mouse controls
- ✅ Settings popup
- ✅ Image editing/annotation
- ✅ Password-protected exit
- ✅ Web links (opens in Chrome/Edge kiosk)
- ✅ Network monitoring
- ✅ Auto-update playlist
### What is disabled on Windows
- ❌ Card reader (evdev is Linux-only; `EVDEV_AVAILABLE = False`)
- ❌ HDMI power management (tvservice is RPi-specific)
- ❌ WiFi restart (uses Linux `nmcli`)
## 🚀 Quick Start (Development)
### Prerequisites
1. **Python 3.10+** (64-bit) — [python.org](https://python.org)
2. **FFmpeg** — for video codec support
- Download from [ffmpeg.org](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html)
- Add `bin\` folder to your PATH
3. **Visual C++ Redistributable** — [latest](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe)
### Install & Run
```batch
cd windows
REM Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate
REM Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements_win.txt
REM Run in development mode
python run_win.py
```
## 📦 Building the .exe
### One-Command Build
```batch
cd windows
build_win.bat
```
### Manual Build
```batch
cd windows
venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements_win.txt
pyinstaller build.spec --clean --noconfirm
```
### Output
```
windows\dist\KiwySignagePlayer\
├── KiwySignagePlayer.exe # Main executable
├── config/ # Config files (auto-copied)
├── resources/ # Icons, intro video
└── ... (supporting DLLs)
```
For a **single-file .exe**, edit `build.spec` — uncomment the `exe_onefile` section and comment out the `coll = COLLECT(...)` section.
## ⚙️ Configuration
1. On first run, config files are created in `%APPDATA%\KiwySignage\`
2. Edit `%APPDATA%\KiwySignage\config\app_config.json` to set your server:
```json
{
"server_ip": "192.168.0.109",
"port": "8080",
"screen_name": "Birou_IT",
"quickconnect_key": "8887779",
"orientation": "Landscape",
"touch": "True",
"max_resolution": "1920x1080",
"edit_feature_enabled": true,
"use_https": false,
"verify_ssl": false
}
```
## 🧪 Testing
```batch
cd windows
venv\Scripts\activate
python run_win.py
```
## 🔧 Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| **"ffpyplayer not found"** | Install: `pip install ffpyplayer` |
| **"No video" / black screen** | Install FFmpeg and add to PATH. Try `KIVY_GL_BACKEND=angle_sdl2` or `KIVY_GL_BACKEND=gl` |
| **Kivy window doesn't open** | Run from command prompt to see error messages. Ensure GPU drivers are up to date. |
| **Weblinks not opening** | Install Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge |
| **Can't connect to server** | Check firewall. Try `use_https: false` and `verify_ssl: false` for testing |
| **Antivirus flags .exe** | Add the output folder to antivirus exclusions. This is a false positive common with PyInstaller. |
