I am new to Xibo, so I apologize for any nonsense questions. I am still trying to wrap my head around how Xibo works.
I am starting of with a very simple layout design which consists of the main window and a footer. The idea of this design is to have the footer display weather and a clock. The main windows needs to display a message, slideshow, PowerPoint presentation.
The problem that I am having is when the timeline resets the entire screen refreshes. Is there a way I can have the footer to always stay on without refreshing?
welcome to the comunity.
i would suggest you to set a duration for the footer. It is measured in seconds so a whole day is about 86400 sec.
Running completly without refreshing would not make sence since the weather needs some updates.
hope that helps.
The Weather widget has a an ‘Update Interval’ setting which you can set to determine how often you want weather information updated. The Widget will refresh when the entire Layout reloads; after the Region with the longest duration will end.
You could use the Overlay Layout functionality and create two Layouts, one to be schedule as an ‘Overlay’ which will contain the Clock and Weather widgets as your footer, to sit on top of your normal scheduled Layouts which will display the content underneath.
