Why do you need the Garlic-Launcher?

Running screens or interactive kiosk systems 24/7 comes with key challenges.

  • Security: You do not want someone to hack your device
  • Monitoring device health, heartbeat, and more
  • Remote administration (update, reboot, maintenance)
  • Manual configuration as easy as possible

The “garlic” approach is to separate the software for industrial media player hardware in two parts.

  1. Garlic-player as platform independent media player
  2. garlic-launcher as a small native interface to the Android management functions
