HTML support, what is the underlying architecture?
All,
Looking for resources related to describing the underlying architecture of XIBO.
I have a (XP) server running with two Clients, one on the server CPU and one on another XP CPU. Installed very nicely and worked the first time. Very nice software, and already it's inspired a bunch of potential uses.
Most everything is working very nicely, except for when I try to add what I would describe as complicated HTML pages. Specifically I wanted to add something like this page:
http://
or this:
as a WebPage (BTW, what's the difference between how a Webpage and Embedded HTML is interpreted?).
Both of those links cause the Client to explode (I can only get things back to working if I reinstall the client) and no matter what I do on the server side. Also, I discovered that after trying to display a complicated page such as this, even switching layouts from the server side won't fix things.
Most of the information I want to display on the digital signage is web based, and in fairly complex page form. We also do quite a bit of Mapping based web sites as well, along with AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) mapping.
So, my real question is, what is the architecture under the hood? I did notice that when installing the client on the Server CPU that it complained about a IE version that was too old (6), which leads me to believe there is some dependency there. Any thoughts about using something like Firefox instead, or even Chrome? I would like to know what the limits there are to interpreting HTML (web pages and/or Embedded pages) in the Layouts.
Thanks
