Auto-update Windows Xibo player

Always good to see a lively conversation - hopefully everyone managed to see each others points of view in the end.

To come at this from an “official” standpoint, we have no objection to supporting automatic updates on Windows, provided those are controlled by the CMS in some way, so that they can be opt-in and out of hours. The same mechanism offered for Android/Samsung/LG/etc would be ideal.

The reason it has not been done is simply down to time and priorities. It is possible to auto update via group policy or scheduled tasks, so while there is a partial solution it hasn’t had attention. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

We’ve started work on CAP support - our biggest challenge in development is finding good CAP feeds/partners to work with. Any suggestions welcome here.

Automatic updates for clients

Windows is the only platform we do not support automatic updates; see above.

SOC 2 or ISO 270001 certification (for Xibo’s hosted solution)

I hear you!

Xibo as a commercial organisation already operates in a way which means we would not need vast changes to adopt ISO27001. It is something we will look at closely in the coming months.

If you choose US as your region all of your data remains inside the US from a data sovereignty standpoint.

Hopefully this provides useful context - I hope everyone have a lovely weekend!
