Hello
I am a computer scientist interested in Xibo technology
and I have an implementation project of 70 screens and I would like to know the characteristics (RAM, CPU, memory) that my server must have for run the xibo CMS and process as many requests
cordially
The amount of load the CMS generates is related to how often you have the Players poll for updates, how large those updates are, what caching mechanism you implement, how frequently your content changes and how many content items are assigned to each Player. Also a factor is what logging level you run at, and whether you have proof of play statistics enabled, notify current layout etc.
2 CMS instances with the same number of players and different configuration options mentioned above may generate significantly different load.
You need to do some real-world measurements with typical work load with say 10 players, and extrapolate from that.

Thank you very much !
well noted but one last question about the way the player downloads the content (video, image) from the CMS.After downloading the content does it store it on the memory of the player or does it dispays it directly on the screen in streaming mode?
thank you for answering me
File based content, like images, videos etc are downloaded and stored in the player storage, so it can display them even without internet or CMS connection.
Online content, like webpages or actual streams (from YouTube for example) that would be streamed in real time and of course not saved in cache.
thank you very much it was helpfull
