Xibo

Python client not displaying page

Asked by Peter Griggs

Hi,

I have Xibo running nicely across our site and we have a mix of Windows Clients and Python clients. Neither the Windows Client nor the Python client will display our BMS dashboard. The windows popup complains and asks for at least IE9 or IE10 (Which it has installed) and the Python client just displays a chromium page with no error information.

I have installed chromium on one of the linux boxes and the dashboard loads and have tried on the Windows box natively and it loads. I am out of ideas can you suggest anything?

Cheers

Peter

In addition I have just loaded up Visual Studio and the embedded browser won't have it (VS2012) so going to tinker with that but the chromium issue still confuses me!

For Windows client, see the FAQ on enabling HTML5 content. You need to
merge some registry changes which will allow the Xibo client to use a newer
version of the Internet Explorer rendering engine.

The Python client uses an old version of Chrome (Chromium 11) and so
assuming all the URLs are correct my guess would be that the engine is too
old to display your content, or browser detection in your BMS system is
preventing it displaying content.

At the moment there's no avenue for us to get a newer browser engine in to
the client.
