I've recently deployed a few displays using Rise Vision https://www.risevision.com/ and have been very happy with it. The platform is free to use, however you can pay to host media with them if you choose to for $10/month. They have client software for windows & linux, and also sell media players on their website if you don't want to spec something yourself.
I've been running the clients for our displays on Raspberry Pi v3 hardware which is incredibly economical, however it did require some configuration to tune for performance and compatibility with our monitors. Video is not possible with this setup since there is no hardware acceleration through chromium on the Raspberry Pi which is what their client software uses, however it has been working great for "slideshow" type displays & static displays such as our coffee shop menu which don't require anything fancy.
