Testing scripts, playlists, and interactive playlists
The BrightSign shell enables you to test playback and see debug output. From the BrightSign
shell you can start your script manually and view output from the script.
Manually starting a script
You can start a script from the shell by using the script command.
1 Follow the directions earlier in this section to connect BrightSign to your computer, and
access it using HyperTerminal.
2 As your script runs, you see output in your terminal program including a variety of output
such as mouse clicks or button presses, file names, audio and video settings, as well as any
errors associated with incorrect use of functions or commands including the line numbers.
Testing playlists
When your playlist contains the keyword debug the autorun.bas script provides detailed output
to the BrightSign shell during playback. To begin testing playlists, do the following:
1 Copy your content, including your AUTOPLAY.BSP and AUTORUN.BAS files to your
CF/SD card.
2 Open your AUTOPLAY.BSP (main playlist file) and add the keyword: debug
3 Insert your CF/SD card into BrightSign, and add power.
