There are a few previous topics about that:

- [Scheduled Player Plugin](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/scheduled-player-plugin/958)
- [Infoscreen for sports club](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/infoscreen-for-sports-club/959)
- [Documentation on creating Scheduled Player Plugins](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/documentation-on-creating-scheduled-player-plugins/1035)

They might give you a hint on how things work. Let me know if you have any questions.
