Xibo

Flash play interaction

Asked by Manuel Viana

I have an installation that presents a small content list of Institutional movie information on one area; and a flash with company's statistical information on another area.
For this second area input is need on flash to present different angles on the statistical data.
The Xibo client will be played on a Linux Kiosk with a Touch screen.
Can input be activated onto this area ? Or on this Xibo client ?

Assuming you're using the Windows client then touch should just work
on the flash region - but it'll also just work elsewhere. There's no
control of inputs in the client at all.

My installation is Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 with the latest python client.
The input runs well on the flash stats with the standalone player, but not on python.
Is there any configuration to address ?

All input is disabled by default on the Python client.

You need to switch the mouse pointer back on to enable it. Edit line 3406:

So it reads:
self.player.showCursor(1)

I have switched the mouse pointer on, and i see it on the layout.
I can move it, but i cannot act upon the buttons within the flash media.
Is there anything specific to flash ?

In which case you'll need changes to be made in Awesomium or libbrowsernode
to make it happen. Xibo isn't designed with kiosks in mind.

This is a flash self contained action.
If as you say, it is a libbrowsernode change, is it possible to analyze and think about, or is it definitely out of scope for Xibo Digital Signage ?

I've no objection to it doing it, it's just that the underlying
libraries don't support it. And we had to pay to get those libraries
written in some cases so I don't think there's much chance of them
being modified to support it in their current state.

Once we move to Berkelium for the browser rendering then there's a
possibility we could get the person doing that to look at it, but it's
certainly not a project priority.

If it can be inserted in your wish-list it will be ok for me by now.
As for the problem itself, i have to split the X display and use Xibo + single window on top with flash status kiosk alike interactive functionality.

Thank you

I would like to know if there are news about this question. I'm working on a project that needs this mouse interaction with click events inside the Xibo Client.

Thank you !
