File Upload Client

It would be great to have a nicely packaged cross-platform file upload client for Xibo.

There’s some code here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~alexharrington/xibo/140-rc1-upload/files/head:/apps/MediaUpload/

which is a working command line upload client. That could easily be extended for a GUI. We’d then need to ship an application Oauth key in the next CMS release to support that. Users could then authorise the app with the CMS and directly upload content to the library, bypassing any limitations on file upload sizes.

hi alex how to upload this or install in the xibo thanks

You don’t install it in to Xibo - it’s a separate application.

As the feature request says, it needs to be nicely packaged so people can just install it and run it. At the moment you’d need to follow the API guide found in the Guides section to get your environment setup correctly, then use the code in that branch to upload.

It was written for 1.4.0-rc1 CMS though so there’s a very good chance it won’t work against a current CMS.

Any Updates on this ?

Not directly.

The file upload functionallity is massively better than when this feature request was written though.

The 1.8 API will come with a wrapper for uploading files so if you really want to be able to do that it should be trivial to integrate in to whatever process you need.
