This page describes how to set up a player in BrightAuthor, our legacy software. To set up a player in BrightAuthor:connected, see BrightSign Player Quickstart |
...
Specify hostname: Check this box to specify a custom hostname for the player on the network. By default, the player serial number is used to generate a unique hostname (i.e. "brightsign-<serial_number>").
Use Proxy: Check this box if you want the player to use a proxy server.
Address: Enter the address of the proxy. If you need to provide a user name and password for the proxy, use this format: <user name>:<password>@<proxy server address> (e.g. “admin:root@myproxy.com”).
Port: Enter the port number of the proxy. If you do not specify a port number, the player will default to using port 1080.
Proxy Bypass: Use the Add Host button to add host names to the proxy bypass list. Host names that are checked will be accessed directly, rather than using the specified proxy server. Entering a host name such as "example.com" will exempt "example.com", "example.com:80", and "www.example.com" from the proxy setting. This feature includes bypass options for the BrightSign Network (content downloads, log uploads) and BrightSign Network Feeds (Dynamic Playlists, Live Media Feeds, Live Text Feeds) by default. Note that you must use a host name - IP addresses don't work.
