Configuring a BrightSign player to use a proxy

I'm having an issue where the password contains an @ symbol. The form validation fails. Is there are way around this?

Also, in the Advances Network Setup image above, should there be a colon between the username and password instead of an @ symbol?

Hello, 

When I enter a password in the address, I get a "Proxy specification is invalid". I have a XD1032 with up-to-date firmware.

Thx

If the password contains this special character (p@ssword), the @ symbol will break the password string itself.

To get around this you need to use the ASCII equivalent for @ or %40 .

(ex: user1:p%40ssword@server.com)

I have the problem that when I use the proxy setting I cannot get to my local subnet. A fix for this would be to include a NO_PROXY setting to add domains that should skip going through the proxy.

The current method means I need to set the proxy to get to external sites but can't get to local sites OR I turn off the proxy and can get to local sites but can't get to external sites, like timeservers, weather bug, etc. 

A (near) future enhancement to the players and BrightAuthor?

Thanks. Dave

Dave,

You can add Proxy Bypass entries when you Setup the player and create the SD card. Under Advanced Network Setup, click on (+) Add Host, then add the domain and/or and any child domains you will use.

While making an SD card during Player Setup, you will have an option to add Proxy Bypass entries. Click (+) Add Host in Advanced Network Settings, then add the domain and/or any subdomains you plan to use.
