r/BrightSign

Hi,

i have an old BrightSign Hd1022 media player that was running a BrightAuthor project from an SD card.

In the best case, I would like to extract the image and video files from the SD card. If that’s not possible, is there any way to run the same project on a newer BrightSign player model? t think, both options are not possible anere there is NO way?

There is a "pool" folder present on the card, but everything is probably hashed in some way, or in a special format.

greetings

Are there any models (XD or XT?) that support an image in front of an HTML5 Widget?

Using an HD1024 (latest firmware), I can get a transparent overlay to work in front of a video element, but if I switch the video to an HTML5 widget, I get strange behavior wherein each zone plays consecutively:

• The image appears, and if it's a png all the transparent parts show the BrightSign background color (mine is set to green) as if there is no 2nd zone behind it.
• After 5-10 seconds, the image and background disappear, and then the website displays, and remains.
• This happens even if the timeouts on the image and image layer are set to "forever".
• Simply swapping the HTML5 asset to a video gets the desired overlay effect.

Am I missing something? Is this possible on any model BrightSign?

I’m looking for cms recommendations that can utilize the features of the xt5 including the hdmi in.

Plus for live data feeds such as weather, news, stocks, or ability to create custom layouts with multiple data feeds. Think stock ticker in a zone and live transit data in another.

Any direction to vendors that can use bright sign players is helpful.
