Xibo

Clock

Asked by Oliver Webb

Hi,

The clock on our Xibo clients is one hour slow. The time on the computer is set to the right time, where does the embedded clock get it's time from?

Many thanks,

Ollie

Are they Linux clients by any chance?

If so it's a long-standing Chrome bug in the version of Chrome we have to use at the moment. You can either set the system time incorrectly to compensate, or edit the HTMLGetResource template file in the CMS to add an hour manually.

NB setting the clock off by one hour will mean that your schedules will also be out by 1 hour.

Flash clocks will have exactly the same issue. The bug is that the time offset isn't determined correctly in Chrome on Linux in the specific version we use.

What's the workaround then to use a clock? Can you please post a solution for linux clients?

The time is wrong in the browser on the Linux client due to a long standing
Chrome bug in the version we use.

You'd have to include a Javascript clock with hardcoded offset for Linux.
