Which is a nice though but to avoid any confusion: I'm just an ordinary user and not related to SJ in any way beyond that .

This script might do the trick for you. It is very basic, it just calls the betacom.exe. If it works but more control is needed I could probably also have the script communicate directly to the sign.

Also it strips out single & double quotes to avoid commandline problems. No idea how betabright signs manages other special characters, but if the sign stumbles over some and you know what a regular expression is you can add some more characters to skip in the script ('skipchars' at the top).

Enjoy,

VERY nice! It works, and it works correctly without messing up the sign for outside Silverjuke. You mentioned the special characters, the only one I noticed which may really be missed is the apostrophe. It seems to be replaced with a space which can mess it up a little bit. Any way the apostrophe can be added back in? I know it displays them normally in the code because the game titles never had any problems showing them.

Now if I can just get the kiosk mode to work without the mute problem, I will be good to go! :)

Just open the script in any editor (notepad is ok) and remove the apostrophe from the regexp so it reads RegExp("["\]") instead of RegExp("['"\]").

I fully expected the commandline function to break on it and never tested with it, maybe you are lucky. Double quotes are not possible using this interface I think. If the single quotes work I'll adapt the script to substitute doubles with singles.

That seemed to work just fine. I may be having problems playing the music without it auto muting on me, but the title and singer display on the Betabrite sign now just fine!
