schedule.json plugin for the info-beamer 'scheduled-player' package

Please note this plugin requires you to install either pretalx-broadcast-tools >= 2.1.0 or have something else to generate a schema-compatible schedule.json file (which is available from pretalx >= 2024.1.0)

Import this package to info-beamer.com

Features

show the next talk in the configured room
show all future (not-yet-ended) talk in all rooms
show the current conference day
show the configured room name

The plugin will automatically fetch related information from pretalx itself. This includes:

event start date
event end date
track information and colours

Standalone mode

In Standalone mode (aka you deploy this to your pi without scheduled-player) this plugin will only show a static view of all next talks. This can be used if you just want to get a list of talks without anything else.

You will get a top bar, showing the current Day on the left, and a 24h clock on the right, followed by all not-yet-ended talks until all screen space is filled. The configured fonts will be respected, but the font sizes are not configurable.

Screenshots

All talk information have been generated by python -m pretalx create_test_event.

Next talk

The screenshot shows the room name "Peru Room" on the top left, followed by the current day information ("Day 1").

In the center, you see the "next talk" display option, showing the talk title, the abstract and the speaker name next to the information about when the talk will start, both as a time stamp and a "in xxx min" information. Inbetween you see the track bar, which is a neon green shade.

On the bottom there's the same view, but this time the abstract and the track bar is missing. The track name is visible as coloured text below the speaker name.

All talks

On this screenshot you can see a listing of nine future talks. The design follows the "next talk" view, but only shows "in xxx min" for talks less than 30 minutes into the future, and the time stamp otherwise.

The room information and speaker names are condensed into one line.
