Very slow startup on firmware 8.0.33 and XT1144 without internet access

Hi,

I have a presentation running on a XT1144. A video file and a html page launched together by a simple custom autorun.brs . Everything was running and starting fast ( 30sec ) with firmware 7.1.x, but with the last update 8.0.33, it's 240 sec aproximately.The XT1144 is plugged on a local network to update files with diagnostics web server and debug things, but there's no internet access.

in the logs, I see a lot of requests like this one :

[32.499][INFO][source file:///sys:/bootstrap.js:195]: JS.Supervisor : ERROR fallover connection retry: Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND certs.brightsignnetwork.com certs.brightsignnetwork.com:443. (attemptsLeft=10)

Is there a way to prevent these accesses by a command in the autorun ?

Reverting to 7.1.95 makes things faster again, but I'd like to benefit from the updated nods.js version that makes a lot of things easier.

Thanks in advance

Pat

    Please update to BrightSign OS 8.0.48 or newer.

    Per the Release Notes Bug Fixes
    32486: Boot time has been improved on players that are connected to an inoperable local network (e.g. if DNS resolution is not working).

    Pat,

    For our Brightsigns that do not have Internet access and run 8.x, I clear the NTP server registry setting. This reduces the startup time.

    net = CreateObject("roNetworkConfiguration", "eth0")
    net.SetTimeServer("")
    net.Apply()

    Cheers,

    Sorry, didn't see your answers...

    Thank you Brandon, startup is much faster with OS 8.0.48. Less than 35 seconds in my case, really easier to test scripts that need a reboot.

    Thanks Ken for the tip.

    Cheers
