Change Time Server

Is there still no way to change the Time Server with the Diagnostic Web Server on the player?

I need to possibly change the Time Server to a local LAN time server since there is no Internet on the LAN, and there are many players that need to have matching clocks.

I do not have access to the original set up files, and I am just looking for an easy way to update just the Time Server address on all the players without creating new setup files.

Is there any other way to change just the Time Server address on the players?

Thank you.

    Looks like it might be able to be done with a simple script:

    nc = CreateObject("roNetworkConfiguration", 0)

    nc.SetTimeServer("ntp://10.0.1.11/")

    But not sure how I can send this to each player to run just once and then go back to normal.

    There isn't a hugely easy way to do it tbh and I have no idea why changing network settings was never made available from the DWS.

    If you don't have access to the setup files or project etc.. you could rename autorun.brs and upload one that does what you want via dws, reboot and then rename the old one. There's a .exe called QAutomate somewhere on the forum that'll automate most of it if you're not keen on scripting rest calls.

    If you have the presentations write a plugin that does the NTP change and nothing else and publish it out to the players.

    Method one is quicker just a bit manual but usually faster.
