Hello everyone,
we received a concrete customer request regarding the scheduling of content in Xibo, and as we start hearing this topic more and more often from our clients, I wanted to share it here as a possible feature request.
The use case:
Customers are asking for the possibility to define a percentage-based share of videos within a campaign. At the moment, it is not possible to schedule exact percentages, so we try to approximate it by “stacking” the same video multiple times (e.g. 8:2 ratio for an 80% to 20% distribution). However, this quickly becomes very inefficient and impractical – especially if the ratio is something like 95% to 5%, which would mean stacking 19 to 1.
Proposed feature:
It would be extremely helpful to have an automated stacking or percentage input directly in the Campaign window. For example, when adding videos to a campaign, it should be possible to define something like:
- Video 1 → 95%
- Video 2 → 5%
The scheduler would then automatically handle the playback distribution according to these ratios, without the need to manually duplicate and stack items.
This would make campaign management far more efficient, especially for networks with strict percentage requirements from different stakeholders.
Is this something that could be considered for the roadmap?
Best regards,
Peter
