Using URLs to point to content and not just uploading it?

Asked by asmith

Is that possible? I would love to be able to point to URL instead of having to upload all of my content.

Hi,

I guess are you just talking about file based content? Currently Xibo makes local copies of all the content on the clients (served through XMDS) so it can play content offline.

Technically speaking I suppose XMDS could pull from the URL and then serve to the local clients - but this is not something that is possible at the moment or something we have planned.

As a workaround you could make a web page to display your content and schedule this web page instead of uploading your content.

Cheers,
Dan
