PUT /control/reboot/

Reboots the player. The player will not send a response to a reboot request.

Request Body Parameters

crash_report bool: Pass the body parameter {“crash_report": true}. To be used only when directed by BrightSign customer service. This will reboot the player and save a crash-report file to the brightsign-dumps folder. Customer service may request the crash report when helping you troubleshoot a player.
factory_reset bool: Pass the body parameter {“factory_reset”: true}. This resets the player to factory defaults, erasing all persistent registry settings for networking, security, and other applications.
autorun string: Pass the body parameter {“autorun”: “disable”}. This disables the current autorun script, and this is especially helpful for debugging purposes.
