Xibo

RSS-Feed showing multiple lines while sidescrolling

Asked by Christopher Kristensen

Hello,

I have a problem with the RSS feed, while scrolling to the left, it's written downwards, rather than on a single line. And the text does not appear all the way to the right, but rather already scrolled to the left, making the RSS near impossible to read.

It functions perfectly when I set it to scroll up or down, but left and right appears to be the problem. The problem re-occurs with all RSS-Feeds I've attempted.

My settings are:
Direction: Left
Scroll Speed: 40
Duration: 60
Update interval: 1

The RSS-Feed i should ideally be using is this: https://lms.hfk.no//Bulletin/RssFeed.aspx?LocationType=1&LocationID=27205&PersonId=87905&CustomerId=195&Guid=24b10979a33cb68bba89db02e335ca44&Culture=nn-NO
However, I doubt it'll tell you much. Any ideas?

It's either the HTML formatting in the feed itself, or you've applied a styling to the <Description> tag which stops the nobr tag's we're using from taking effect.

Try deleting your feed item all together, and then adding it back again but don't touch the contents of the text edit box initially (except to change the text colour if your background is black).

That fixed the problem where it started scrolling all the way to the left, so it's readable. But it still appears in several lines downwards, rather than a single line.

I also realize I forgot to mention that also, only one feed appears.

From my understanding of xibo, and replies to others with RSS-Feed problems, this particular problem should be impossible? I think I remember reading one place, that Xibo will always have only one line when scrolling sideways?

It will try, but if there is html markup in the feed then we can't always
keep it always on one line.

I see, so I'm most likely using wrong RSS Feeds then? Thanks for help.
