Consider the following guidelines when using custom autoruns with BSN.
BrightAuthor Standard and Custom Autoruns
Each autorun.brs script lists autorunVersion$
and customAutorunVersion$
values. BrightAuthor uses the settings in the File > Presentation Properties > Autorun window to determine which of these values will be used as the autorun version number when the presentation is uploaded to BSN:
If you select Standard Autorun, BrightAuthor will assign the autorun version of the current presentation to the
autorunVersion$
value.If you choose Select Custom Autorun, BrightAuthor will assign the autorun version of the custom autorun file you select to the
customAutorunVersion$
value.
Autorun Versions on BSN
BSN sets the autorun version of a player according to its group. You can see the current autorun version of a group by navigating to the Groups tab and selecting Properties for any player within that group. The standard autorun version for the player (and, by extension, the group) will be listed in the Autorun Ver. (standard) field.
...
This process applies to all presentations scheduled for a group, not just the presentation that is currently running on the players.
Custom Autorun Versions on BSN
To use a custom autorun presentation in a group that contains standard autorun presentations as well, ensure that the version number of your custom autorun has a higher value than any other standard autorun presentations scheduled for the group.
...
You can check the highest standard autorun version of a group by clicking the Properties of any player in that group and viewing the Autorun ver.(standard) field.
Forcing an Autorun Upgrade on BSN
BrightAuthor allows you to force a BSN group to update to a version of autorun beyond what is currently being used in any presentation. You cannot force players to downgrade their autorun versions by forcing a version number below the highest current autorun version.
