Customize Web Player

Obscreen provides an URL for each playlist.
Player's playlist URL is configurable in two ways:

Playlist URL

To connect the player to a specific playlist using its ID
http://<STUDIO_URL>/use/<playlist_id>

Playgroup URL

To connect the player to a specific playgroup using its ID
http://<STUDIO_URL>/group/<playgroup_id>

Playlist always starts with an introduction slide showing date & time (customizable). Then it plays the first content item and endlessly loops through the playlist items according to the schedule.
