# Player Info

The Embedded, Package HTML and Web Page Widgets, as well as custom Widgets allow HTML, CSS and JavaScript to be embedded into the Player.

## Local access

Xibo Player Apps have an embedded web server, available at `localhost` which supports returning various metadata from the running application. You can do this from any Widget which uses a browser.

```javascript
$.get("http://localhost:9696/info");
```

This returns:

```json
{
  "hardwareKey": "",
  "displayName": "",
  "timeZone": "",
  "latitude": null,
  "longitude": null
}
```

### Port

The default port is 9696, but this can be changed using the Display Settings Profile in the CMS.

## External Access

If allowed in the Xibo CMS Display Settings Profile for your Display, the Player App can also be accessed over the WAN.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/developer/player-control/player-info.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
