BrightScript Debug Console

The BrightScript Debugger is a tool that facilitates debugging of BrightScript code. It is available through the BrightSign Shell (see below). To turn the BrightScript Debugger on, type script debug on at the console. More info about these tools can be found here.

Crash Dumps

If a player encounters a non-deliberate shutdown (aka a crash), “crash dumps” are generated upon reboot. These files contain useful information that BrightSign Support can analyze and use for troubleshooting. These files can be found in the brightsign-dumps folder located in the root folder of the player’s storage device.
