How do I play a single video in a loop on the player using BrightAuthor?

Last Updated: October 14, 2015

Note: The below methods will not play your video in a seamless loop. View this FAQ to learn how to play seamless video.

BrightAuthor Project

Place a single video in a non-interactive playlist. Then publish the presentation to your player (see the BrightAuthor User Guide for more details).

Direct Publish

You can publish media to a player without using BrightAuthor.

1. Copy the video file to the root folder of your SD card (e.g. "SD:/").
2. Ensure there are no BrightAuthor project files on the SD card.
3. Insert the SD card into the player and power it up.

Note: If your player is set up to for the BrightSign Network, you can't use the direct-publish playback option. If you startup a networked player with an SD card containing content files only, the recovery program that's stored in the registry will activate and the player will try to reconnect to the last account/group it was associated with and download the currently scheduled content.
