Linux player status and plans

A quick update for you all. We are making good progress with a Linux player and hope to have something available to test in August 2024.

After extensive testing of various options we have chosen to develop the player using ElectronJS. The electron ecosystem will allow us to bring the same player application to Windows and Linux, as well as share code with the CMS’s own layout previewing capabilities.

Of course, the player and shared libraries will be open source.

We’re excited with how the player is coming together, and although we still have a lot of work to do, we are making good progress.
