Extended Xibo media data services?
Hi,
We're thinking about developing some layout/displays management software in near future to cooperate with Xibo.
Becouse of that i'm very happy about 'Extend the Xibo media data services' blueprint. And there is question.
Would 1.0.x client work with 1.1.1 server (mentioned as target for this feature) server?
Our general plan is:
- Usage of 1.0.x well tested and stable client for some longer time since python version is testing right now.
- Usage of stock >=1.1.1 server without any heavy modification to be able to update it easy with new fixes and version
- Development (and probably share the source, becouse why not, and becouse licence say so I guess) easy gui to manage displays (less important) and layouts / sheduler (most important) in something like .net (but there probably mono could be used in other platforms in difference to client becouse no tricky activex needed for display etc)
There is one general question while it's only long time plan: Would it be possible or there is some general fail in that conception?
For example like that 1.0 client won't work with 1.1 client, or xmds gui won't allow us to code such application.
Generally we're taking into consideration putting some donation for such well documented and stable (means well designed so there won't be nessessary to reorganise it every month and write app from beginning) xmds api that allow managing server without any modification in server itself.
Thoughts? :)
