Scrolling of a raster image

Asked by blammo

All,

Did a couple of searches here about scrolling of images. Doesn't seem to be something that folks are asking for. I did see a couple of references to using scrolling inside of a webpage though, and that may be an option. But I haven't tried this as my previous dynamic page requests have crapped out the client.

Is it unreasonable to request a feature to allow scrolling for a image (or images) the same as a text crawl? This would help me immediately by allowing web screen shots to be cycled through as images.

Hmm, still learning here, but can I cycle (animate) through a set of images in some manner? I noticed that the duration settings only allow whole numbers, what if I wanted to cycle through some Weather maps and display images for fractions of a second at a time.

Best to just try it?

Thanks

bobb

Your requirement spreads several different development drives here... but the main one would be transitions. Currently we support having a region on a layout containing multiple images which will cycle - with no effect between each one. The python client is poised to enable transitions - but the server interface is playing catch up as there is currently no way to define these transitions (we are really keen to do this!).

The references you have found relating to scrolling the images in a web page are a workaround at best... essentially you can embed your own code (embedded media type) to handle all the scrolling images - and as far as Xibo knows it is only 1 item on the timeline.
