Xibo

Is scheduling info buffered on the client?

Asked by Albion on 2014-08-18

I have one Xibo Server and 5 clients displaying movies and pictures. Each client is scheduled to start at 7am and stop at 5pm every day. If the server goes down in the middle of the night and stays down, but the clients remain running, will the clients know to start at 7am or will they continue doing whatever they were doing when the server went down?

The clients hold 48 hours of schedule information and media by default. So
at 7am the clients would switch schedule as per the schedule on the CMS at
the last time they were able to communicate with it.

I'm going to be using Xibo to display our multimedia presentation at IMTS (International Machine Tool Show). The only cavate is that I am not going to take a server, I simply do not have the hardware available. I'm also running the clients completely offline. I'd like the clients to remember the schedule for at least a week, is that possible? Maybe something I can change in the code?
