We have recently been mandated to transition from our (working) Google Calendar to a campus system - Astra - which takes 30-45 seconds to load each calendar.
On my clients, running Windows 7, IE will render the page and not timeout, but if I create a Xibo layout Web Page and point to the server, I only get some frames of the site - the whole calendar never renders.
Is there a way to extend the timeout, and/or cache the web page? I’m setting the duration at 3600 seconds, but this doesn’t seem to make a difference in the client bailing out.
Xibo doesn’t provide any support for caching webpage media types, so they will stop working without network connection if you haven’t somehow arranged for all the HTML files and associated content to be stored locally on the device and served from there.
If you’re using the embedded html media type, then the HTML is cached locally on the Player, but again, you would need to get any associated files (images, javascript etc) on to and served from the Player for it to work with no network connection.
