Scoreboard Kiosk: Install and assign the display

Install and assign the display

1. On the Ubuntu desktop, extract this package and run sh install-linux.sh as the normal desktop user. The installer installs Python/Chromium, creates separate display/admin desktop shortcuts, enables login autostart and asks for the station administrator PIN.
2. Launch Game Action 360 Scoreboard Kiosk. Before assignment, the public screen shows a neutral station message with no setup controls.
3. Open the separate GA360 Scoreboard Station Administration desktop shortcut, or visit http://127.0.0.1:8880/admin from another local browser profile. Enter the station PIN.
4. In Sports Hub, open the defined digital scoreboard’s management page and copy its Public display URL, normally https://www.gameaction360.com/digital-scoreboards/<access_token>. Add it to the station. The kiosk verifies both the actual page and live scoreboard API before saving it. Do not use the JSON/API, admin, editor or demo URL.
5. The first saved board becomes active. Save additional game/preview displays and choose Run this scoreboard to assign one to this station. This version displays one defined board at a time; use separate station PCs for separate physical boards.
6. Configure the connected screen as the Ubuntu primary display. Use native 1920×1080 or 3840×2160 for 16:9 boards. Orientation and sport layouts remain in Sports Hub. Enable Ubuntu desktop auto-login and disable screen blanking/sleep to complete unattended power-on operation.

The kiosk opens the original Sports Hub page directly in a sandboxed, fullscreen Chromium profile. It does not embed the board in an iframe or reimplement its layout. Sport-specific live scores, player panels, game previews, sponsors, weather, event assignment and Digital Scoreboard System rules continue to come from the existing display. This is a display player; scoring stays with the Sports Hub scorekeeper. No Sports Hub deployment update is required for existing public digital scoreboard endpoints.
