First of all, Hello! Im new in Xibo, yesterday I started to see what I can do with this amazing CMS. Im from Spain and my english isn’t so good, sorry.
I’ve encountered problems in my way to create a simple Layout and show it in a second screen, but reading the comunity problems I’ve got the solutions. Now I have another problem but I cant see any help around here. The problem is that I have a Layout with 4 images, 10 seconds, in my second monitor (already configured) but I have a embedded code html from “https://www.eltiempo.es/widget” and a Flip Clock.
That two modules aren’t showing in my layout and transitions between images (in same region) either. Please I need help.
Notes: Im using Xibo 1.7.9 for both server and client (is the same PC, im testing Xibo for now)
Right, so you do have an overlapping regions, unfortunately that will not work correctly on Windows client.
It seems to me that you also have an empty region on this layout, since it’s marked as invalid (X) hence the errors you see.
So I’d suggest:
Remove the empty region
Remove the region with images
Go to Options -> Background and set one image as background image (please make sure it’s .jpg)
You’d have one layout with background image (.jpg) and clock and embedded weather
Then you could create second layout with other images
Create a campaign add both layouts to the campaign
Schedule campaign to display on your player
Alternatively, on android client that layout would work fine (without empty region of course).
If you don’t see why it’s marked as invalid, please export layout, upload to dropbox/similar and share the download link with me here or via private message.
Think of campaign as grouped layouts, as it’s essentially it.
Your player will display first layout (background image / clock/ embedded) once the layout duration end it will display second layout and then go back to the first one and so on.
I added a clock, wich have transparent background in the design tab, but not in the display client. Are you using linux based client or windows? your clock is right
Edit: I have to left my work. Tomorrow i will resume this project.
In case there is anything cached, you might want to create a new layout, add background image (.jpg) add other region and try it out.
Also make sure about IE11 and browser emulation in registry.
When you say [quote=“Peter, post:13, topic:8570”]
Windows, linux client is not supported since 1.6.x series.
[/quote], what do you mean exactly? How can I show mi Xibo Campaigns and layouts then?
Can you send me your layout or at least the image you’re using as background please?
You asked
I replied that I was using Windows client in this case, as android client does support transparency and overlapping regions so there will be no issues like the ones you have here.
Right, do you see the format in which this image is saved? It’s .png, 25.png
I’ve mentioned about 5-6 times in this topic alone, that your background image must be in .jpg format, with .png it will not work as I’ve also mentioned in this topic.
So if you’d convert the .jpg image it should work fine.
.jpg image for you:
ok. sorry, i made two versions of the image. I thought i was using jpg. I always make two versions (jpg and png) and this time I put the wrong format in the xibo library. I will test inmediatly.
EDIT: Works prefectly now. So now if I set a Jpeg background, could I add regions with Png images and transparent backgrounds too?
I created a campaign with two layouts, but only first is shown. How can I add time to different layouts in the campaign? and transitions?
If you have two layouts in your campaign and scheduled the campaign to your display, it should show both layouts.
It will show the first layout then once the longest duration on the layout end it will show the second layout.
Perhaps you have some long durations on your first layout?
