This page / section pertains to BrightAuthor Classic, our legacy app. BrightSign Author is our latest app for managing content and players.
Development of BrightAuthor Classic has largely ceased and the app will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BrightSign Author.
All networked players can play streaming Mjpeg video. See this page to learn more about supported video streaming formats and codecs.
Unlike other video types, there is no limit on the amount of Mjpeg streams you can display on screen. However, adding more than a certain number of windows (depending on the player model and stream quality) will begin to reduce the framerate of the videos.

- Append the "?buffersize=[size_in_bytes]" parameter to modify the default streaming buffer size (see this How-to for more details).
