Streaming from BrightSign player (streaming server)

Hello,

can I have more details about how to get it work please?

Cheers,Gavin

We've attached a BA presentation that can be published to a XD player via BA 3.7.0.37 (please use the latest 4.7.x firmware available from the website).

Rename the MPEG2 transport stream file you will be streaming to “clip.ts”, then copy this file to the root of the SD card. Please note that the file should be encoded as per the description below for UDP/RTP streaming:

http://support.brightsign.biz/entries/22262919-What-Video-Streaming-Formats-Do-BrightSign-Players-Support-  

Once the attached presentation is opened and saved publish it to your XD player.

This presentation contains 2 UDP commands (“play” and “stop”). In order to start streaming the file which is on the root of the SD card you need to send the “play” UDP message and “stop” to stop the streaming.

With this presentation clients can connect to the stream by using “rtp:// 239.255.12.42:5004” with VLC. Please note that in order to use this address your network/router/switch has to support IP multicast.

You can also stream directly to a device by changing the streaming IP address to something like “rtp:// 192.168.1.5:5004” through the “play” UDP event advanced command.

Thanks.

I´m trying but with no sucess.

Fistable, at the presentation, when you send de play UDP command, it response you with another UDP command, i suposse it has to be an plugin message, so I think it´s the first thing why it doesn´t work...

anyway I send a play plugin message but have no success viewing the streming at VLC at the rtp url..

We have tested the instructions provided in the previous comment on multiple computers and multiple XD players. What is the model of your BrightSign unit and what firmware version is installed? Did you rename the video file to clip.ts and copy it to the root directory of SD card? Try with the attached video. Does the unit show the images on the screen when you send "play" and "stop" commands? What steps did you follow in VLC to connect to the stream.

Finally I got it.

I think the problem was related to the network (switchers). Connecting the BS directly to the PC i can see the streamming at VLC, but I changed it to send the "play" pluging message instead of the UDP one.

At the "stop" command a plugin message is sent, but not at the "play" one...

Anyway, thank you for your help.

Hi, How XD1132 can be configurated for Works like a streaming server?

How many BS clients can connect to a BS Stremaing Server?

It's configurable. It may depend on exactly what you're serving. Default value is just 5 clients, but could support a few dozen clients easily enough. Remember that lots of clients all causing the server to read from an SD card may not work so well. An SSD might be better.

Keep in mind that available network bandwidth will also be a limiting factor.  Only the 4K players have Gigabit Ethernet, the other models have 10/100.

Hi,

I download StreamingServerDemo3 for test with my XD1132 firmware is 6.0.25.

My XD IP address is 192.168.13.102

My computer run VLC IP address is 192.168.13.67.

I change destination in serve_plugin_working4.brs to ' s.destination$ = "192.168.13.67:5004" '

And change destination in UDP input even to ' serve!play!clip.ts!192.168.13.67:5004 '

But when I use BrightSing App puch Play button XD led Err blink and XD player restart.

Please introduce,I make something wrong.

Is it possible to streamin in H265 if we use any of 4K  players?

Hello, anybody tried to stream to a SmartTv?

Thank you for response.

Greetings

From the 1132 and 4k, yes you can

Hello,

I've got a problem with streaming with fw 7.0.60 (XT1143). Seems everything OK, but I can't play any stream from XT1143 streaming server. And if I downgrade server fw to 6.2.147.9 it works. But, there is a issue with audio. If is server streaming multicast, audio is fine, but then the server is streaming the same source unicast http, audio doesn't play on BS client (in a VLC on PC audio plays). Unicast rtsp the audio plays on BS client, but there is a repeatedly audio cuts about 500ms - the same is in a VLC on PC.

I have loaded the streaming plugin onto an XT1143 with current firmware.. and i've enables the Multicast stream to stream the HDMI input, and the brightsign restarts constantly every 30 seconds.. any clues ?

I have XD1032 devices (10) with 7.01 firmware.  We've installed the latest Appspace app and now, devices on a 70" TV screen display at half size, in the upper left corner of the screen.  I've tried everything I know as basically an end user.  Before the upgrade in firmware and Appspace to version 7, we had no problem.  I've tried increasing the image sizes and resolution of the sign/card/channel.  It is something with the device, I believe.  We just (yesterday) upgraded both firmware and Appspace with the latest downloads from Appspace.  All TVs 55" or smaller have no problem.  Techs cannot replicate with a similar model.  Any ideas or advice would be most appreciated!

I'm running into the same things as Matt above - XT1143 keeps rebooting after 30 seconds.
