Starting Broadcast Power involves running at least one server and one client application. The server
application is RemotePlayerHost.exe where the client application is WinUI.exe.
Step 1: Start RemotePlayerHost.exe
Closing RemotePlayerHost.exe will minimize the application to the task bar. To close the application you
will have to right click on the BP icon on the task bar and select close.
Do not close the application if you want to continue with this tutorial.
You will not normally close this application if you want to run the user interface or automate station
schedules. In a real production environment, you would want to run this application,
RemotePlayerHost.exe, on a server locked up in a secure room.
Users of the system will access the server from their workstation machines or laptops, running WinUI.exe,
over a network.
If this is the first time you run the application, it might fail connecting to the database, since the database
schema was not created.
If you have an existing Broadcast Power database server with a valid schema and get this error, it means
the application is not able to connect to it or that the user name and password for the Microsoft SQL
Server in the configuration file are not valid.
Click OK to continue.
You will then be prompted to create the database schema.
Click Yes to create the schema or No to cancel and confirm the username and password for Microsoft
SQL server with your network and systems administrator.
The database schema creation dialog box will read the Microsoft SQL Server settings from the
configuration file and populate the entries for you.
Confirm that all the entries match your environment and click Create.
The schema will be created for you now.
If the schema already exists, you will get an error message.
When the database schema is created, RemotePlayerHost will open its main window.
You are now ready to go to step 2.
Step 2: Run WinUI.exe
The password for the default user name Administrator is 123. Make sure that you change the default
password at the earliest possible chance to minimize the risk of unwanted access to the system.
Click on the Login button to connect to the server, authenticate the user, and load the default data for the
user interface.
