Improvements to player setup.

This release introduces two new methods for setting up your newly installed Xibo for webOS player:

Connect using an Authentication code.

After installing your player, you can now use the Use Code option on the connect to CMS page to generate an authentication key. You can then enter that key into your CMS to complete the setup of your player. Please see the installation guide for more details.

Automated credentials setup using a USB.

It is now possible to create a JSON file that will contain your CMS URL, Key and license pool email address. This method further simplifies setup, especially for USB installations. More information is available in this guide.
