PowerBI Info for our CMS partners.

Microsoft has announced that Chromium 94 will be the minimum browser supported on PowerBI. Due to this change in browser support, BrightSign will upgrade Power BI, so BrightSign upgraded our current Chromium 87 browser version (for Series 4 and 5 players), to accommodate PowerBI users.

Series 5

The current BOS 9.0.145.1 release contains a Beta version of Chromium 110. This version, which exceeds the Power BI requirement for Series 5, can be set by using the chromium110 registry key.

Registry Key Example Settings

BrightScript console:
registry write html widget_type chromium110

BrightScript:

Code Block
RegHtml = CreateObject("roRegistrySection", "html")
RegHtml.Write("widget_type", "chromium110")
RegHtml.Flush()

JavaScript:

Code Block
languagejs
var registryClass = require("@brightsign/registry");
var registry = new registryClass();
registry.write("html", {widget_type:"chromium110"}).then(
	function(){console.log("Write Successful");});

The next BOS 9.0 release, which should be available before the end of August, will upgrade the Beta Chromium 110 version to version 120. This functionality, set through the registry, will be considered a Beta, but will eventually move into a BOS 9.1 release which will contain Chromium 120 as the default.

Series 4

BrightSign plans to release BOS 9.1 with Chromium 120 as Beta before the end of August to help customers using Power BI. We are investigating if this version can unify the Series 4 and 5 BOS versions.

Series 3

BrightSign is investigating the Series 3 product line hardware capabilities in order to provide a higher Chromium version.

NoteBeta OS versions may contain functional differences with the production OSPower BI users. To upgrade to Chromium 110 or 120, see this page.
