Xibo html viewer

Asked by gibsonneke

Hello,

I recently tested the Xibo Digital Signage system.

It does work verry wel but I have a question about it.

Now it comes with a client based on the .Net framework.

Does it exist with a html viewer? (or has anyone some code of it eventually not finished)

How can I code a html viewer in php? (some more info please)

Regards,

Emmanuel

Hi

There is a blueprint for an html client in the blueprints section.

It's not something that Dan or I are keen to work on, but I think you're the third person to bring it up.

My main concern is that in the near future, it won't be possible with current browser technology to match the features of the cross platform client.

Cheers

Alex

Is it possible to have some more information about the html client? (research, functions?)

Is the existing .Net client open source?

There is currently no code relating to a HTML viewer for Xibo.

There are a group of people that are interested in a HTML viewer - please refer to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xibo/+spec/xibo-html-client. You can edit the whiteboard to add your comments - or create a page on our wiki http://wiki.xibo.org.uk if you have an idea how it should work.

The .NET client source code is made available through Launchpad in lp:xibo/1.0 It is released under the AGPL v3

Thanks for the quick answer.

Is there a way to get to source code in one time? (not download any single file)

You need to use bzr (bazaar) to download the files. http://bazaar-vcs.org/

Also, please be aware that in all likelihood, the .net client will be discontinued with Xibo 1.1/1.2 so if you're thinking about taking it and developing it, then it's unlikely that we'll accept changes back in to Xibo.

Cheers

Ok thanks for your quick reply. :)

I've downloaded bazaar. I made a new directory, right click, Bazaar checkout/branch and fill in the URL (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xibo-maintainers/xibo/halley/files)

Make a lokal copy of the branch ...

But it won't work.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Emmanuel

The address you need is just lp:xibo/1.0

Cheers
