I am hoping to use a HD1020 as a generic networked media player. What I aim to achieve is to be able to recall and play video files stored on the SD card. I have read the documentation and browsed the forum and have decided to use the "Video Control Script: UDP & Serial" found in the "Script Examples - incl Simple Showcontrol Script" topic (http://support.brightsign.biz/entries/21151082-Script-Examples-incl-Simple-Showcontrol-Script).
I should be getting my hands on a unit soon for testing, but what I do not understand is how to upload the files on the SD card. Can I just remove the card from the HD1020 and plug it into a computer and simply transfer the files? If so, which folder should they be placed into? And are the filenames case sensitive?
I have read that it is possible to the transfer with BrightAuthor but want to avoid doing so to reduce complexity as I shall be leaving the unit in the charge of non-technical users.

Permanently deleted user Using this script you can play your content from the root of your SD card, filenames are not case sensitive. You can simply copy the content files on your SD card.

Jon Thank you for your reply. I now have a HD1020. But the script did not work. After spending a long time with it, I found that the script needs updating for the HD1020 unit as follows:
Line 500:
if control.modelObject.GetModel() = "HD410" or control.modelObject.GetModel() = "HD810" or control.modelObject.GetModel() = "HD1010" or ucase(control.modelObject.GetModel()) = "HD1010W" or ucase(control.modelObject.GetModel()) = "HD1020" then
Line 507:
if ucase(control.modelObject.GetModel()) = "HD1010W" or ucase(control.modelObject.GetModel()) = "HD210W" or control.modelObject.GetModel() = "HD210" or control.modelObject.GetModel() = "HD1010" or control.modelObject.GetModel() = "HD1020" then
After making those changes then the unit is assigned an IP address correctly and everything works!
