Passing parameters to SMIL widgets

SignageOS SMIL Player allows its users to pass custom parameters into your SMIL widgets. Here is a short guide on how you can do this:

  1. Define your SMIL file and all necessary elements
  2. Create a widget element
  3. Add source URL for the widget with parameters
    1. Parameters within URL are defined after the ? symbol and always in a Key - Value pair, these parameters are defined in a standard Query string

Example:

<seq>
