I'm trying to setup a system in which I have 11 players that would pull new images upon receiving a udp message. The images would be stored on a pc attached to the same network. Currently I create individual presentations and publish them to each player every time that I need to change the images. The images stay the same for a couple of weeks at a time.
Thank you for any suggestions.
MRSS feeds could be a good way to manage the content.
Look at the MRSS Generator in this page
https://brightsign.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/218067887-Developer-Resources-and-Utilities
I keep getting pointed to the MRSS, however I'm having difficulty I tried using the image generator, it appears to have worked but when I upload to the BrightSign player I just get a black screen not my images.
An MRSS feed is typically hosted on a web server, and connected to, through an http url.
The PC on your local network, would be the place to store the XML file, and serve it through a web server, running on the PC.
This server maybe?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/miniweb/
The links in your MRSS XML may need to be tweaked to point at your local server, to look something like this: http://YoLightServer/OneOfMyfiles.mp4
To set up the MRSS connection, you would user BrightAuthor-> Presentation Properties -> Data Feeds
