Is there a File where my added Players in BrightAuthor are shown?

Hi to all!

I got a few BrightSign Player which are placed in the whole house. I am using "Local Network" to distribute my presentations to the players.

Unfortunately I can't find the players in my Network with the automatic Search function in BrightAuthor despite the installation of the "Bonjour Services".

Now I want to connect other Notebooks to the Players with BrightAuthor. 

Here my Question: Is there a File or Registry Key where BrightAuthor writes down the IP-adresses of the Players, so I can just copy the File / Registry Key to another Notebook and don't have to add the Players manually.

P.S. BrightSign Network / USB Distribution is no option for me.

 

Thx for the Help!

  The location may very slightly based on OS and configuration, but it should be something like this:

  C:\Users\(your use id)\AppData\Local\BrightSign\BrightAuthor\4.7.1.14\BrightSignUnits.xml

   

  If BrightSign staff reads, in looking at this file I just noticed the UserNames and Passwords are all still in plain text in this file. They should at the very least have some form of obfuscation so they are not easily read like they are now.
