DISCLAIMER: The way paths are constructed in fetcher.js might change in the future. Contact BrightSign Support for details.

See https://docs.brightsign.biz/display/DOC/assetpoolfetcher for documentation.

Prerequisites:

Node v10.15.3+ on your laptop.
A source of files to download. Example: publish an Simple File Networking (SFN) application from BA:connected and use the published folder as the download source.

To run the attached application:

Set up your file source, in this example, your SFN folder (see Prerequisites above)

When you publish your project from BA:connected, specify the url to the folder on your laptop, e.g. http://10.0.0.88:8081
Host this using a web server, e.g. run http-server (https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server) on a laptop
Change the url at the top of fetcher.js from http://10.0.0.88:8081/current-sync.json to point to your web server, that is, http://==your laptop ip address==:==your port==/current-sync.json

Set up the player

Clone this project
Run “npm install”
Run “npx webpack”
Copy autorun.brs, node-server.html and bundle.js to your sd card
Boot your player
In the player log, you should see the message “Example app listening on port 9090!”
