How could I go about transferring a text file (actually, JSONP) to a number of Brightsigns? I just want to store it on the file system without updating anything in BrightAuthor (the project should be identical for all units, while the text file (timetable information) is different.
Is it possible to somehow do this via Local File Networking? or do I need to write some code?
Thanks,
Peter
Hi,
One approach would be to generate a XML file (RSS feed) that contains the serial number of the players in the title tags and the URL for the time table in the description tags. You would then need a custom parser/plugin to retrieve the relevant URL for a player based on its serial number.
See below for further details on parsers/plugins:

an easier option maybe be to reverse engineer the file upload feature in the html service / device page
if you set up your bs unit and go to the device webpage, in there you can manually upload a file, you would have to do this manually for every unit.
however with a small amount of http snooping you can figure out what commands are being used to upload the files, you can then automate this with your favorite script language. i have successfully done this with python to delete the autorun.brs from a unit and upload a new one (when working on custom scripts) adam@toulouse.co.nz if you would like more info (dont come on here often and not sure if i get email notifications from requests i did not start)
Can't find what you're looking for?
