I'm very new to brightscript; just getting into writing plugins now. In the example plugins I've found I keep coming across the print command. I'm also experimenting with bsp.diagnostics.printdebug(). Where do these actually print to? I've checked my players log in brightsign connected and I've never seen my messages come through there. Is there a way to simply view print commands in a brightscript plugin?

Bright Scripters Output from print command show in the console through ssh or serial port.
This article should help you get started:

awilliams777 Oof so there is no way to print from a brightscript plugin to the diagnostic web server? I can only print over the serial connection?

awilliams777 ah ok i got in over ssh. Didn't realize the account name to login to the player was "brightsign" by default lol

Bright Scripters You can print to the log in DWS using roSystemLog. For dev work I find ssh or serial more efficient.

JeanniWilliams I really liked your guide on BrightSign BrightScript print output—it’s such a clear explanation for troubleshooting and debugging scripts on digital signage. Reading it actually reminded me of how starting the day with a little structure, like enjoying a satisfying breakfast from the Hardee’s Breakfast Menu, can give you the focus and energy to tackle technical tasks efficiently. Do you find that having a consistent morning routine makes working through coding or scripting issues less stressful?
