Two things reviewed against the hardware.
REMOTE CAPTURE. An in-page canvas cannot read the hardware plane, so a
screenshot from a BrightSign is a composite with the video missing. The player
now asks the HOST, which uses the unit's own Diagnostic Web Server to capture the
real framebuffer, video included.
It has to run in BrightScript rather than the page for two reasons: the DWS is
http on localhost while the player is served over https, so the page would be
blocked as mixed content; and BrightScript is subject to neither CORS nor
mixed-content rules. Credentials are the documented default — user "admin",
password = the unit serial — which the host reads directly.
It requires PRIMARY STORAGE: the endpoint writes the full-size capture to disk
before returning a thumbnail, so a unit with no card or SSD answers "No primary
storage found." That message is passed through verbatim rather than swallowed,
and the canvas path still runs as a fallback, so a player with no disk keeps
producing the partial screenshot it can rather than nothing at all. Verified
against the real unit: the endpoint is reachable and blocked solely on storage.
THE STUCK TESTER. An opted-in player on 1.9.29-rc1 was told "holding prerelease
of the same core" when offered rc3 — so it would never move forward through
rc1 -> rc2 -> rc3, which is the opposite of what opting in is for, and would have
stopped our own XT245 ever receiving the next candidate.
The hold rule exists to stop a test build being dragged BACK to its release. It
now applies only when the advertised version IS that release: a newer prerelease
of the same core is offered normally, the release still cannot claw a tester
back, a newer core still lands, and a player that never opted in is still refused
a prerelease.
Also verified end to end on alpha: the advertised sha256 matches the served bytes
exactly, size matches, and every member of the package is stored.
1063 pass.
