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.

server_name=piathome.com

country=IN
wifi_name="your-wifi-name"
wifi_password="your-wifi-password"
wifi_hidden=0

user_pin="123456"
installation="e2etest"
group="test"
player_name="QCast Player"
timezone="Asia/Calcutta"

#Few comments
#Server name if you need to configure a different server, not needed for pisignage.com
#All block are optional, but if present all fields are needed
#Generate pin and copy the same from your settings tab
#installation is same as your username
#timezone feature is added in 2.9.8 image
