Xibo

How to daily stop xibo running in order to switch off the monitor?

Asked by Alexandre

Hi lads, and thanks in advance for your precious help,

In order to be as efficient as possible in term of energy saving, I would like to swicth on an off xibo to make sure the screen would not be on 24/7,

Because each screen has a default layout, when thes scheduling part comes to an end, this default layout takes place which makes Xibo client running as long as the unit itself is running. (Windows system based).

Is there any solution already tested that would make Xibo running on start time and stop time ?

If no, are you guys using the OS (Linux / Windows) to take over it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Alex

Xibo has no feature like that. You could set the PC to shutdown on a schedule with a scheduled task and then use the BIOS to wake the PC back up at a specific time.

Hi,

like Alex said, take a shutdown tool and let the client boot via BIOS settings.
I use shutdown4you that you can find here:

We use an auto power off app that hibernates the PC. When the PC hibernates, the monitor detects the lack of signal and switches into a power save mode.

When the auto power off app turns the PC back on, the monitor detects the signal and starts up perfectly.

Xibo doesn't miss a beat with our approach.

(to be sure, we also have a scheduled task that reboots the PC after the restart to clean up any issues that could pop up.)

Just to add to this - in 1.3.3 the server has support for Wake On Lan - so if you did want to wake up your PC out of schedule - you should be able to do that too.
