We have a client that needs all the brightsign players to request an HTML page with the mac address of the player as part of that request. Wondering if somebody can point me in the right direction. Thank

    Yes but not so easy to do.

    Assuming you have a user variable named PlayerID, you can include its value in a an HTTP request like so:

    http://myRemoteServer.com/$$PlayerID$$

     

    The variable, can be of type System Variable, and have the players serial number assigned to it.

    MAC address is not available using that mechanism, so you could either add a BrightScript plugin, or simply use the serial number, which is also unique to each player.

    Keeping things simple is also a factor...
