I see that there is a writebootfile option for booting to a custom logo. After I install the custom BMP: is there a way to go back to the standard/normal boot image that shipped with the unit?

Thx

[edit]

Oh yeah, is there a description of what the shell // serial port commands now are/do? I note that videomode seems to have a few more options than before, but can't find the documentation that goes with it.

  You can do a help for any shell command, from the shell. You can also look at the object reference or brightscript reference for more info about the objects.
  
  
  
  You can write a write a script that will accept serial commands, and then you can have the unit do anything so long as you define what commands it should accept, and what it should do with those commands. I have a sample script I wrote that accepts serial commands like stop, and play, loop, and search, and a couple settings. Mostly, it's for playing videos.
  
  
  
  If this is what you're looking for, I can provide it.
  
  
  
  I'm not 100% sure how you go back to your old bootscreen. Let me check.

  I think for AMX and Crestron programmers that are trying to command/query these Roku players, we just want to know what all the serial commands are as well as the expected responses.
  
  
  
  I don't want to write a custom shell interpreter for my own custom serial commands, that would be silly.
  
  
  
  I would guess that a web-page with this information would be super helpful and easy to update with successive firmwares/features...

  does erasebootfile just erase the user-installed boot image and go back to the default?

  Yes,
  
  
  
  It deletes the user created boot file.
  
  
  
  
  
  Most of our currently users don't use the Brightsign's simply as an extension of a show control device, so most of the functionality is geared two wards playlists and interactive playlists.
  
  
  
  I can provide a link to a serial control script I wrote for the compact models. It focuses on video playback, allowing you to send different start, stop, and play commands. You can also send a search command to look for a file. The script also sends responses.
  
  
  
  Do you only need playback and query commands? Are there specific settings you also want to be able to change over serial?

  Lyndon,
  
  This is exactly what I am looking for as well. I am using an HD410 for simple video playback. I have 1 video that I want to play back when a button is pushed on a Crestron Touchpanel. I have a crestron control system and am confused as to what serial string I send to the unit to play the video. I get that you can set your own string names, but where do you set what they do? Maybe I am missing something because I am so used to just looking at a protocol manual but I am confused. Any assistance would be most helpfull! Thanks

  Sorry, but I was out of town when you posted this. I did recently send you an email showing how to do what you want in brightauthor or with a custom script.
