I have two HD210 players. I need to display a single jpg that will change every ten minutes (we'll compose in photoshop and save over the file every 10 minutes). I have been playing with BrightAuthor all afternoon, and watching videos and reading docs, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do it.
Also is it normal for all the options but live video, media channel and RSS to be grayed out?
Any help would be appreciated.
Seems to me like you would need to upload your image to a web server, and use an HTML5 State in BrightAuthor to reload the image.
Dropbox and such, could be used as a web server.
An alternative to that would MRSS feed, with a single item. The advantage to MRSS is image caching.
Using the built-in web server could be tricky, as I'm not sure how you would automatically upload a fresh image to the SD card.
There may be a way to use HTTP with the Diagnostics Web Server (DWS), to upload an image.
The DWS allows uploading files to the SD card from the web GUI, so I'm assuming that there is an HTTP request that can do that in a scriptable way.
I hope that helped.
