6. Player Configuration System

Configuration Generation

Automatic Configuration Created During Deployment:

{
  "player": {
    "name": "auto-populated",
    "id": "auto-populated",
    "location": "auto-populated",
    "version": "2.0"
  },
  "server": {
    "url": "auto-detected",
    "api_endpoint": "auto-generated",
    "authentication": {
      "type": "api_key",
      "key": "SHA256(name:host)[:32]"
    },
    "endpoints": {
      "playlists": "auto-generated",
      "content": "auto-generated",
      "schedule": "auto-generated",
      "heartbeat": "auto-generated",
      "logs": "auto-generated"
    }
  },
  "playback": {
    "audio_enabled": true,
    "video_enabled": true,
    "max_resolution": "4K",
    "refresh_interval": 60,
    "rotation": "0"
  },
  "networking": {
    "timeout": 30,
    "retry_count": 3,
    "retry_delay": 5
  }
}

Key Generation

✅ Formula: SHA256(player_name:hostname)[:32]
✅ Deterministic (regenerable)
✅ Unique per player instance
✅ Implemented in api.py line ~960

Server URL Detection

✅ Priority 1: X-Forwarded-Proto + X-Forwarded-Host
✅ Priority 2: Request scheme + host (direct)
✅ Result: Full DigiServer URL with /digiserver path
✅ Implemented in api.py line ~955
