Overview

You must migrate to the 2022/06 bsn.cloud APIs if you want to use any of the Series 5 players (except the AU335, which is supported in bsn.cloud 2020/10 APIs). In previous versions, these players will show up as "unknown" and new video walls, 8K images and other Series 5 related features are not supported. See https://www.brightsign.biz/brightsign-players/series-5/ for more information about Series 5 players.

Series 5 Changes

The 2022/06 API supports BrightSign Series 5 players with the following changes:

• The Player Models Enumeration (2022/06) has been extended by the "XC2055", "XC4055", "LS425", "LS445", "HS125", "HS145", "HD225", "HD1025", "XD235", "XD1035", "XT245", "XT1145", and "XT2145" elements.
• The Player Family Enumeration (2022/06) has been extended by the "Raptor" and "Cobra" elements.
• The VideoMode Enumeration (2022/06)(DOCS-1182) has been extended by the "7680x4320x60p", "7680x4320x59.94p", "7680x4320x50p", "7680x4320x30p", "7680x4320x29.97p", "7680x4320x25p", "7680x4320x24p", "7680x4320x23.976p", "3072x2048x30p", "1536x2048x30p" elements.
• The Regular Groups Entity (2022/06) has been extended by the [string] XCX55Firmware and [string] XTX45_XDX35_HDX25_LS4X5_HS1X5Firmware properties.

Business Operations Appliance Changes

In previous API versions, the business operations listed also included non-applicable operations. We addressed this usability bug by providing new information in the OperationAppliance property as shown below:

• Business Operations Entity (2022/06)  was extended by the [OperationAppliance] Appliance property.
• The OperationAppliance enumeration was defined. It may have one or more unique { "Instance", "Collection", "Unknown" } values:
  • The "Instance" value indicates that the given business operation applies to specific entity instances.
  • The "Collection" value indicates that the given business operation applies to collections of entities in a network and associated folders, and may be shown on the "Permissions" page and the Folder Properties panel.

Please update your client and display as follows:

• In places where you define permissions or collections of entities, display only the BusinessOperations which have "Collection" values. In BrightAuthor:connected, this would be the Admin > Permissions page, where you can create custom roles and define player permissions.
  
• In places where you define instance-specific permissions, please display only BusinessOperations which have "Instance" values. In BrightAuthor:connected, this would be in the entity properties panels (Content, Player Group, Presentation) where you can define object permissions for specific instances.
  

HTTP Conditional Request Support

Most of our entities already support conditional requests according to rfc7232, but conditional request were missing for the following three entities and have now been implemented:

• Network Entity (2022/06)
• Network Subscription Entity (2022/06)
• Player Subscription Entity (2022/06)

Network Settings Structure Fixes

We provided new information in some entities (LastModifiedDate and AutomaticSubscriptionsManagementEnabled), which can be implemented if you wish. Other minor fixes have also been implemented:

• Network Entity (2022/06) was extended by the [DateTime] LastModifiedDate property
• Network Settings Entity (2022/06);
  • The [bool] AutomaticSubscriptionsManagementEnabled property has been added to the structure.
  • The [bool] AutomaticTaggedPlaylistApprovementEnabled property has been renamed to AutomaticTaggedPlaylistApprovalEnabled.
• Network Subscription Entity (2022/06):
  • The [DateTime] LastModifiedDate property is no longer nullable.
  • The GET ~/2022/06/REST/Self/Networks/{networkId}/Subscription/ and GET ~/2022/06/REST/Self/Networks/{networkId}/Subscription/methods set the Last-Modified HTTP response header to the [DateTime] LastModifiedDate property value of the returned entity.
  • The PUT ~/2022/06/REST/Self/Networks/{networkId}/Subscription/ and PUT ~/2022/06/REST/Self/Networks/{networkId}/Subscription/methods accept the optional If-Unmodified-Since HTTP Request Header and evaluate condition against the target entity.
• Player Subscription Entity (2022/06) was extended by the [DateTime]LastModifiedDate property.
