Can the xml file for Live Text be stored on the SD card instead of a web server?

    Yes.

     

    When you add your url to the project, use file:///folder/filename.xml.

     

    Then, as long as the folder/file name is present on the card, that's where the unit will look for the xml file..

    Will this work for local servers too? it seemed to with the update data button in brightauthor, but I could never get to to see the actual XML i was pointing to in the file string on a local server.

    Yes, you can host xml files on a local webserver. By local server, you  mean a server on your network? or do you mean you're hosting the xml file on the player and trying to serve it up from the player?

    Yes I meant a local server, not the card. but not a publicly published webserver. I was thinking just with local network enabled, and a file path that is on that network.

     

    So the xml on the local network, would actually be a file path for a data feed.

     

    I think it wasn't seeing it due to a domain issue. I will try again on a server I can verify I am getting access to.

     

    When I saw it able to verify and update the XML on a local file string in BrightAuthor I figured it was possible.

     

    I am wanting to be able to update a crawl, as an XML feed that is scraped, so I don't have to republish a show to alter the text in the crawl.

     

    Is there any way for BS to refer to a text file on a local network as the source for crawl data? It seems using a text file always pushes the file to the card, unless you were to use custom scripting. That's why I was going the XML data feede route.
