As was just covered, player provisioning consists of applying a Setup to the player which includes the installation of a Player App. The Player App must contain an autorun.brs file which, as an example, may instruct the player to display a specific .html file, either local on the player or on an external website. Alternatively, the autorun may instruct the player to check a particular URL for updated presentations and/or content and, if new files are available, download them and play them.
...
Below are sample autorun.brs and autozip.brs files for reference.
Sample autorun.brs

| title | This autorun.brs file instructs the player to display a local HTML file, specifically, index.html: |

Sub Main()
'Create the BrightSign event handler.
msgPort = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
'Define the screen viewing area.
r = CreateObject("roRectangle", 0, 0, 1920, 1080)
'Set the URL where the presentation resides. This can be either local or external.
config = {
url: "file:///index.html",
}
'Create an HTML event since our presentation is an HTML file.
h = CreateObject("roHtmlWidget", r, config)
h.SetPort(msgPort)
sleep(10000)
h.Show()
'Event loop to ensure that the script runs indefinitely
while true
msg = wait(0, msgPort)
print "type(msg)=";type(msg)
if type(msg) = "roHtmlWidgetEvent" then
eventData = msg.GetData()
if type(eventData) = "roAssociativeArray" and type(eventData.reason) = "roString" then
print "reason = ";eventData.reason
if eventData.reason = "load-error" then
print "message = ";eventData.message
endif

Sample autozip.brs
