BrightSign OS
Description
BrightSign are professional network media players supporting HTML5 / JavaScript and other web technologies. BrightSign player can be built into the panel and supplied as a one-piece monoblock.
Supported devices
| BrightSign FW version | SmartPlayer support |
|---|---|
| 8.x.x | Yes |
| 7.x.x | Yes |
| 6.x.x | No |
| 5.x.x | No |
All modern players come with firmware 8.x.x and are supported by SmartPlayer. The application can only be launched from a MicroSD card, it will not start from Flash memory. We recommend using MicroSD, since they are protected from external factors (they are closed with a protective piece of iron on the screw) and are more compact, which excludes the possibility of "accidental" falling out of the USB socket.
- Serial 4: HD224, HD1024, HS124, HS144, LS424
- Serial 3: HD223, HD1023, LS423, HO523

Initial setup
Preparing the device for launch
To configure the network parameters (Internet / WiFi / Modem) on the device, you need to use BrightAuthor: connected. Available for download at https://www.brightsign.biz/digital-signage-products/software/brightauthorconnected. BrightAuthor:connected allows you to configure device parameters, including network parameters. The network parameter settings depend on the connected network.

Firmware update
It is good practice to update your firmware to the latest version. How to find out and update your current firmware: https://docs.brightsign.biz/display/DOC/Firmware+Installation+Instructions
Preparing MicroSD card
1. How to choose a MicroSD card - https://brightsign.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/218065677-How-to-select-an-SD-card. Recommended MicroSD Cards - https://www.brightsign.biz/digital-signage-products/accessories/MicroSD-cards
2. Format in exFAT format - https://brightsign.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041158914-How-do-I-format-or-erase-an-SD-card ... The microSD memory size will determine the amount of available memory for the SmartPlayer app. After formatting, there should be an empty MicroSD, no third-party files.
3. Put the client application received from the SmartPlayer representative into the root of the formatted flash drive. The final composition of the files is shown in the screenshot. Never modify the files located in the folder "sp_app" and "autorun.brs", this will lead to incorrect operation of the application (or not starting the application by the system). All manipulations with files in the 'sp_app' folder take place through the SmartPlayer personal account.
4. Insert the MicroSD into the slot on your device
5. Pull out the power supply and insert it back to reboot the device (the power button on the device case will not work if the card inserted when the device was powered on). The first launch can take up to three minutes (depends on microSD).
6. If the device is connected to the Internet, a nine-digit registration code will be displayed.
7. Next, follow the instructions http://wiki.smartplayer.org/index.php/Getting_started
Работа с аудио (громкость)
На BrightSign нет такого понятия, как уровень громкости на устройстве. Уровень громкости устанавливается на определенный контент, который проигрывается. Контент может быть видео (с аудиодоржкой),аудио и т.п. SmartPlayer поддерживает установку громкости на контент при создании трансляции, чем вы можете воспользоваться при необходимости проигрывания контента с определенным уровнем громкости.
Ограничения на текущий момент
- нет поддержки статистики proof-of-play (отключена)
- нет поддержки 4К контета (играть будет но в режиме FullHD)
- нет поддержки установки даты и времени с личного кабинета SmartPlayer
- нет поддержки вертикального режима
