Player image customization

You could customize player image for your specific needs wither for configuration or branding in number of ways.

1. Bootup video and welcome screen - You can upload your own assets to your account (using the same method Add files under Assets tab) and deploying to the groups. More details are available at https://help.pisignage.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001372931-Special-assets

2. Server and wifi configuration - You can download the SD card image and mount it on a laptop. The /boot partition is visible under your laptop OS. You can create a file name player-config.txt  under /boot partition and add the following lines.

Starting image 2.7.1 you can also auto-register the player using user_pin, installation, group and player_name fields. Under settings menu, enable auto registration feature and you will get a 6 digit ID next to that. Copy the same as user_pin.
