Brandon Well, with jQuery you'd use
$.post('http://localhost:8008/SetValues', BSvars);Where BSvars is a JavaScript object consisting of name:value pairs, for example
var BSvars = { myVariable:"Hello", myOtherVariable:"World"};Posting that would set the variable named myVariable in the presentation to the string Hello and the variable named myOtherVariable in the presentation to the string World

James Tebb Thanks Brendon
This has got me thinking...
What I would like to do is....
Excel doc on a Mac on local network
The brightsigns variables update based on value’s in the excel doc
I’m aware that this could be treated as an RSS feed however I need to be able to trigger the update as opposed to waiting 30 secs
Is there a method to do this maybe with background script -
Bright Scripters info[at]brightscripters.com If RSS works for you then you could initiate a feed refresh using the "Update Data Feed" command, and trigger it by sending a UDP message from you application to the player.
The Update Data Feed command can be found here
