I’m trying to display Data that changes every 30minutes.
At first I wanted to display a Dataset and update the Dataset with the CMS API, but I noticed the dataset doesn’t update if it’s already showing on a screen.
Another way I thought of was using a Remote Dataset, which can be set to update Constantly. In the Dataset documentation it says the “Fetch remote datasets” job runs every minute by default. But with my docker installation it only runs once per hour, which isn’t enough for this dataset.
What would be the best way to display constantly changing data?
Updating the DataSet in Xibo should work as you want.
Please check the cache duration on the widget DataSet ticker or DataSet view > caching is set low enough.
It’s important to appreciate that the widget will never update more frequently than it is refreshed as part of the layout, so for example if you had another region on the layout that lasted for 10 min, then the widget will never update more frequently than that. In that case you can enable the loop option on the region that contains the dataset and that will cause it to refresh more frequently.
