Issue
I am running a self hosted CMS using Docker on Windows. Currently running 3.3.7 with both PC and WebOS clients and everything is working well. I tried to upgrade to V4 and had several problems. (Reverted back to 3.3.7 for the production displays.)
For the most part, the PC clients still worked in v4. I think we had problems getting the digital clock working, but everything else was functional. Had some issues with the layers in the layouts. Had to reset the background image on each layout.
On the WebOs clients we had problems with the Digital clock, Weather widget, Text widget, and displaying web pages. (I have a support ticket open regarding the Weather, Text and Web issues with the WebOs clients.)
I was able to get the weather API registered and working, but it was having problems displaying the content properly. Certain fonts and images were not getting downloaded and displayed.
The Test messages in the playlist would not display at all in the WebOs clients. Other items in the playlist would. (They did display on the PC client).
Web pages would show up the wrong size and not off-set properly. These were simple web pages that were served just for this purpose (More complicated HTML5 had confused the WebOs players in V3, so we made simple, custom web pages to display content. These also displayed fine on the PC clients.)
Tried different WebOS player versions but they all had the same issues.
THE QUESTION: could some of these issues be due to the way I upgraded the CMS? Could something have gotten garbled with the database or permissions? Was there something else I needed to do with PHP server or something? (I doubt that since the PC clients worked, but I don’t know.)
For the record, I followed the directions to spin down Docker, backed up the Xibo folder, upgraded first to v4.0.6, then v4.1.2. I used the correct env file and ports config.
I am thinking of doing a clean install of v4 on a new PC, rebuilding one of the displays from all of the components and testing PC and WebOS clients. At least then I may know if there is a problem with the WebOS client or just with my CMS. And if the clean v4 works, I will need to figure how best to transfer the content. Appreciate any suggestions or input.
