HTML5 Widgets in Xibo

Hi guys,
is it possible to use HTML5 Widgets in Xibo as media files?
I am asking this because of,
using local HTML5 content doesn’t seem to be possible if the content is not copied to the player in advance.

You can include HTML5 via the embedded HTML widget

If you need to bring other assets in, then the only way to achieve that is to upload them to the library as generic files, and then assign those files to the Players directly. That will ensure a copy is in the local Player library at all times.

Hi Alex,
thanks :slight_smile:
How do i include the files that are part of a HTML5 content via embedded widget?
Example:
HTML5 content index.html has,

  • Folder named “css” where the css files that are part of the INDEX are stored
  • Folder named “Images” where the image files that are part of the INDEX are stored
  • Folder named “js” where the java script files that are part of the INDEX are stored

Are you also saying that,
i can upload all the files one by to the CM first and after that add them to the layout one by one?

Sorry if i confuse you…

You can’t use a folder structure.

Say though, you use an embedded html widget, and need to have some script that you want to reference from that, you can upload your js file to the CMS library, and then assign that file to your Display.

Then, the file will be given an ID number (say 89), so the file will appear in the Player library as 89.js - which you can then reference from inside your embedded content.

Okay, thanks :slight_smile:
I will try to play with it.

Hey any advancement on this? I know its kind of old but I have full HTML applications that I would like to be able to use xibo to deliver and initiate but I am kind of stuck. And it seems like we were looking to do the same thing.
