Is it possible to create a webpage that is a glorified remote control for multiple BrightSign boxes? I'm considering creating an html page to use to update multiple BrightSign boxes utilizing the networking options that are supported. I see that html5 can be used, but am not finding a whole lot of documentation.
Is it possible to make changes through the router these boxes are connected to and update them say with a tablet accessing an html page on the same network?
I was able to find some html support, but I'm still wondering if this is possible. I'd like to create a page that can be accessed by 2 different tablets that will trigger different presentations on several BrightSign boxes. I'm currently up to 7, but there could be more added depending on feedback. Does anyone have a good link for how I would go about doing this?
Hi Nate,
What I would do is use one of the player as a web server for the web UI, and have that player send UDP commands to the rest of the players, that would trigger content playback on the other players.
There is way to trigger UDP message from HTML via JS like so:
function sendUDPString(s)
{
$.post("/SendUDP", { key: "SendUDP", value: s } );
}
I hope that helped
Hello Udi,
That's interesting. I'm pretty new to BrightSign. I didn't realize I could use one as a server. I'm currently working on networking 2 boxes through a Netgear router, but I will keep this in mind as I get better acquainted with how this all works.I plan on immersing myself in the networking tutorials today. Thanks for the code.
