Hi all, I was trying to test a simple script which I got it from this forum. I copied this "autorun.brs" + 1.mpg (this 1.mpg file was confirmed to work with BrightSign) file onto the SD card. When I power on the HD810 there was nothing shown on the monitor nor there was audio sound. The monitor is simply blank. autorun.brs content: videomode$="1280x720x60p" v=CreateObject("roVideoPlayer") vmode = createobject("roVideoMode") vmode.SetMode(videomode$) v.SetLoopMode(true) list=matchfiles(".","*.mpg") v.PlayFile(list.RemoveHead()) while true sleep(1000) end while Could anyone please suggest what should I check? Why BrightSign won't play this video file? Thanks, Soulivanh

  You said you already played this file on the brightsign using another method?
  
  How is the brightsign connected to your display? If you're using vga, that's an hdmi/component resolution, so you wouldn't get a picture over vga.

  Hi Lyndon,
  Thanks.
  Sorry I am not sure if I understood what you just said. What I did was: I simply connect a LCD monitor to HD810 via vga port. It is interesting that if I copy only .mpg files (without any script files) onto the root directory of the SD card, plug it into the HD810 and it could play the video and displayed it on the monitor. Why when I put the autorun script file the HD810 would not play the video?
  Thanks,
  Soulivanh

  Some video settings only works over some video outputs.
  For example, you are using vga. But your script is set to a resolution, 720p, that only works over HDMI and Component.
  
  videomode$="1280x720x60p"
  
  Either plug the unit in using HDMI, or change the line above to one of the following, all of which work over VGA.
  
  videomode$="1280x768x60p"

videomode$="1280x800x60p"

videomode$="1360x768x60p"

videomode$="1024x768x75p"

  Hi,
  I tried your suggestion, but it was not working yet, could you please drop me a line how to set the VGA output instead of HDMI?
  By the way where do I find all this information?
  Thanks,
  Soulivanh

  This is all in the object reference guide, the scripting.
  
  Send me an email at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:support@brightsign.biz">support@brightsign.biz</a><!-- e -->, and include the modified script you tested.
