Could someone help me with my project? I'm creating a device which reads data from the BrightSign through udp. Unfortunately I haven't managed to get one for myself but I need the "data junk" which BrightSign sends when connecting to the udp port with command "status". Could someone post an example data?
Btw is it truly necessary to send data from 21076 and receive 21075? Why can't they be in the same port?
Thanks!
Hi Atte,
It is not clear what is it you are trying to do. Could you clarify?
What is the status command?
You can set the send and receive UDP ports in BrightAuthor's Presentation Properties -> Interactive.
To my knowledge you can set those to the same port, if you wish.
It's up to the running presentation (or custom script) what and how it responds to.
By default, sending "status" to a BrightSign does nothing. :)
If the player's Local Web Server (LWS) is enabled, you can request some data from it via HTTP.
http://ip.address.of.player:8080/GetID
http://ip.address.of.player:8080/GetUDPEvents
http://ip.address.of.player:8080/GetRemoteData (combines both of the above)
http://ip.address.of.player:8080/GetUserVars
You can set the UDP receive and destination ports to the same port, but be aware that this will cause the player to receive the same message when it sends a UDP message, so be careful not to cause a feedback loop.
Thank you both! I'd like to have some example data where I can see the currently playing file, it's whole length and the time where the movie is currently. That's actually what I was asking for in the beginning. I was managed to have one very old BrightSign (HD1010) but it is broken...
The broken HD1010 could be considered as a blessing in disguise, as it is a legacy product, that cannot run the most recent BrightSign code.
From what I could gather so far, it seems like you would need custom code, to implement the functionality that you have described.
We would be happy to assist.
Can't find what you're looking for?
