DELETE /storage/{:device_name}/

Reformats the specified storage device

You must disable the autorun before reformatting the SD card on your device. To disable the autorun, use the PUT /v1/control/reboot with body parameter { “autorun”:”disable” }, as described in this section. This can also be done in the local DWS Diagnostics tab.

Segment

device_name string: The specified storage device (see this page for a list of available devices)

Request Body

fs string: The file system to use when reformatting a storage device. The default value of fs is "exfat".

Endpoints:

GET /re-provision/

Calling this endpoint will re-provision the player (in other words, the B-Deploy setup currently associated with the player will be downloaded, and the device will go through setup again). The BrightAuthor:connected UI feature that uses this functionality is Reprovision Player.

The re-provision process involves the following steps:

If the “networking” section of the player’s registry contains the access and refresh tokens, it is assumed that the player was previously set up for BSN.cloud. So BrightSign keeps some setup-related keys in the networking section (these keys are listed at right) and deletes the rest of the registry entries. If the networking section does not include access and refresh tokens, it will empty the whole networking section, format the SD card, and reboot to try to provision the player.
BrightSign also sets the “deviceSetupComplete“ parameter in the “autorun” section to null, so that the player can set up again. This key is set to 1 only if the player was previously set up through the on-device setup option.
The code removes all files from the default storage device (this is almost always the SD card). You do not need to format the storage separately.
The player reboots, fetches the setup package from B-Deploy, and re-provisions itself.

Request Example

GET /rest/v1/re-provision/?destinationType=player&destinationName={{deviceSerial}} HTTP/1.1
Host: ws.bsn.cloud
Authorization: Bearer {{UserAccessToken}}
Accept: application/json, application/vnd.bsn.error+json

Response Body

success bool: True means that the operation succeeded and the player will reboot. False means that the operation failed.

PUT /custom/

Sends custom data to the player. The player in turn sends the data as a message (in JSON string format) on UDP port 5000, which can then be captured by the autorun.brs or a JavaScript application on the player.

Request Body

command string: The custom data to send
returnImmediately bool: A flag specifying whether the server should respond to the PUT request immediately (true) or wait on a response to the UDP message from the BrightScript/JavaScript application (false).

Request Example

PUT /rest/v1/custom/?destinationType=player&destinationName={{deviceSerial}} HTTP/1.1
Host: ws.bsn.cloud
Authorization: Bearer {{UserAccessToken}}
Accept: application/json, application/vnd.bsn.error+json
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 89

This is the example request body:

{
    "data": {
        "command": "next",
        "returnImmediately": true
    }
}

Response Body

If the returnImmediately property is true, the server will return a success or error message. If the property is false, the server will wait for a response from UDP port 5000 on the player and send it as the response to the PUT request.

Response Example

{
    "data": {
        "result": {
            "success": true
        }
    },
    "route": "/v1/custom",
    "method": "PUT"
}
