The Scheduled Player is kind of a workaround added due to info-beamer not having any kind of native scheduling or playlists for a long time. That has changed recently (see [scheduling](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/setup-scheduling/1110) and [playlists](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/native-playlist-support-preview/1141)). Both of those features are vastly superior to what was implemented in the Scheduled Player. The near term goal is to utilize all those abilities in a new package that aims to replace the Scheduled Player for most use cases. This will then allow you to…

- …make changes to playlists once in a central place and have those changes reflected in multiple setups immediately.
- …use the new scheduling for more expressive rules.

while also

- have synced playback across multiple devices as well as content video-walled over multiple screens.
- hopefully being able to use a less klunky UI compared to the Scheduled Player.
