Player Software Interface

The Action menu contains the following options:

• Full Screen: Expands the software panel to fill the monitor screen.

  Note: If you have two or more screens synced to the player — without targeting — "full screen" mode will fill all screens.

• Exit: Closes the player application.

The Operations menu contains the following options:

• Push Requests Now: A player polls every forty minutes by default (for more details, see The Network Tab). You can enforce a player-poll for testing purposes by selecting Push Requests Now. The player will download and start your changes.
• Clear Requests: Cancels recent requests, e.g., push requests and sync URL requests.
• Sync URLs Now: Synchronizes local copies of files (on the player) with their remote sources over HTTP or FTP. For more information, see The Monitor Sync Section.
• Options:

  • Proxy: Allows you to apply proxy settings on the player to centralize outbound connections on your network. For more information, see Networking Requirements and The Proxy Section.

    

  • MAC Filter: When you select a MAC address from this list, the player excludes it from the list of MACs sent to Broadsign Server. This list links a MAC to a player. You may want to use this feature if your player has a non-unique MAC address. For example, many 3G dongles or VPNs use the same MAC address.

    

• Diagnostics Report: Runs the diagnostic report for the player. For more details, see Verify your Installation or Register a Player.

• About: Lists standard information about the player, and any open source software used in its development.
