Is it possible to update the "Image Play File" from an external source on the fly ?

Hi,

I'm working on a project that will have a lot of images in a "Image Play File" container. This list should be able to update itself from an external source. Is this possible ? Like from a csv on the net or a xml or something like that ? 

 

If I want to add a new image now, I have to add it by hand and then upload it to the network etc. 

 

Maybe there are other solutions available I'm overlooking? My goal is to have an image list with a UDP code that is updatable on the fly.

 

Hope you have an answer or any better idea ?

    Media RSS feed is what you need to use to be able to update images on the fly. If you are creating your own Media RSS feed, here's a sample image xml:

    https://brightsignnetwork.com/download/MRSS/Media_RSS_Image_Template.xml

    However, Media RSS feed doesn't allow you to play a specific file from the list using a UDP command. This is a benefit of the Image Play File feature.

    Hi ! 

     

    Thank you for the answer, however, that's not a solution to my problem. I need the UDP support, otherwise the project can't work the way it is intended. 

    Is it possible to do this with a custom script ?

    Hi,

    >Is it possible to do this with a custom script ?

    Yes, It would be possible to do this using a custom script but currently I cannot make any promises as to when one of us (Support team rather than the Development team) would get the time to carry out such a customisation.

    Please create a ticket on the support site and provide all the necessary details for this project in the ticket.

    Make sure to include an answer for the each question below:

    -Are you also using the BrightSign Network, Simple File Networking, Local File Networking?

    -which version of BrightAuthor are you using?

    -Is this a multizones project?

    -Apart from what you have mentioned in this post, is anything else required?

    -What is the project size (how many players will you be using for this project)? 

    Regards,

    Romeo
