Hi,
I have a Python App/Script with a GUI (all in one .py file) that runs on top off Xibo. At the moment it starts with the Windows Autostart mechanism and I update it manually with TeamViewer.
But I would like to start it with the possibility from Xibo to run commands. Is there a setting in which I can schedule the Script start after the Xibo Player starts?
At the moment I experiment with a recurring command every minute that calls the Script (which then would check if an instance is already running and continues only if not). This, in theory, would even be nicer then a one time start because it function like a watchdog. BUT it doesn’t work for me. First the Calendar page get’s unusable slow with an every minute command, I think because there is an extra entry for every command every minute. Second the start of the Script don’t really work. I see on the client that it starts, but there is no windows command line in which it runs like it is when I start it with a double-click and it gets closed after some seconds. I don’t know what I have done wrong? I created a command, in my Windows profile (which is set in the scheduled display) I added the path to the python Script and then I set up a calendar event with that command on my test system (scheduled every minute (tryed although less frequent iterations)).
If I/we/someone can figure it out what is wrong and I am able to start my Script through Xibo, is it then additionally possible to upload & update this (one file) Script with Xibo?
