Displaying a signage throughout a day

[sajan]

Hi,

Apologies if this has already been asked. Basically I want to create a page that displays 8 regions, all of which will have different things in such as Live TV, Twitter feed, clock, weather, image slideshow, a table etc. I can create this in design layout but I cannot seem to get this displaying all the time… it only last for 5 seconds. How can I get it to display all the time? Is there a setting that makes it so that it displays all the time or do I have to always have a time on them? The furthest I can get is just previewing this, but can’t seem to get it transmitted to the actual screen. I would really appreciate some help here or pointers to the guide/instructions. I’m still trying to get my head around how this software works. So far in terms of set up - I’ve installed xibo on a hosting provider, then downloaded the software on windows signage player and installed this and have put in the credentials to get started.

Thanks in advance.
