Hello everyone!

I have the following layout for an RSS: UOL

<div class="image">[linkfoto|image]
<div class="cycle-overlay">
<b><p style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:52px; color:#Color#; margin-top:250px;">[Title]</p></b>

<p style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:48px; margin-top:25px;">[Description]</p></br></br>
<img src="https://conteudo.imguol.com.br/c/home/layout/camaleao/web/logo.png"></img>
</div>

However in the previewer in the CMS it has appeared normally, however when I download it in the android player it is not showing the background image by the code [linkfoto|image].

could someone help me solve it?

PT-BR

Porem no previsualizador no CMS ele tem aparecido normalmente, porem quando baixo no player android ele não está mostrando a imagem de background pelo código [linkfoto|image].

Alguém poderia me ajudar a resolver?

Hello @pondwar

Hello everyone - I am pretty new to this community (and to Xibo) and a customer is also trying to parse XML feeds from the same news provider - UOL is one of the biggest news company in Brazil and is not flexible when it comes to provide a well-formed RSS feed.

In our case, the same feed @pondwar is using does not even produce any visible results in Layout previews (not even the No Data message) in our installation. Other RSS feeds are displayed, so we also understant that the Module is working as intended.

We have already verified it against W3C´s validator (we understand it´s not a valid RSS), we do have a WEB type error in Xibo CMS logs (we´re running the 2.3.7 docker release) stating “WEB GET ERROR /playlist/widget/resource/794/1133 Unable to parse feed: XML parsing error”
BUT this same XML feed is being used with the Ticker Widget in another 2.3.7 Xibo CMS installation, and it IS working.

So I would like to understand and learn the following:

  1. How come the same URL produces different results in the same CMS version?
  2. The Optional JavaScript in the Ticker module is used to help the XML parse, or it wil be used/run only after the data has already been parsed
  3. Do some custom module (like a custom-edited Ticker RSS) would be able to parse this malformed RSS/XML?
  4. I might be wrong - but I assume that curl + script is being used to parse RSS/ XMLs - is there a way to customize the command (I assume that it is made by having a custom Ticker RSS-based module).

Sorry to put more questions than a solution into this topic, but if I understand the inner works related to this news provider I think it will be benefitial to both @pondwar and I.

Thank you in advance!
best regards,

Hi, @Norbies

Thanks for the considerations, I find it very strange that we are having this type of problem with the URL of UOL, however, I have been working for some time with XIBO and UOL’s RSS and only in the new version that came to present this problem.

As I use the Cloud CMS I am waiting for a positioning of the xibo support.
I hope we can resolve this pending quickly.

hugs.

Olá amigos,
Testei o link do UOL: http://www3.uol.com.br/xml/midiaindoor/cotidiano.xml
e na versão 2.3.7 esta funcionando normalmente, texto e imagens usando estas configurações:

[linkfoto|image]

[Title]

No visualizador normal, ele funciona perfeitamente, o problema é quando colocamos para rodar no player Android.
Provavelmente algo com o player android.

Hi @pondwar and @onemidia

Obrigado pelos teus comentários - vou manter a conversa em inglês para que mais gente consiga contribuir.

The odd thing is that we have two Xibo CMS running version 2.3.7 and both will show the same error of XML parse error: Channel WEB, Function GET, Level ERROR, page /playlist/widget/resource/794/1133 (the latter being the layout and widget, I guess) with the message Unable to parse feed: XML parsing error.

We have tried to use both the widget inside the layout and inside a Playlist, with the same results: nothing is being displayed both in Preview and in the Players (Windows or Android).

PT-BR: Tentamos usar os endereços UOL com HTTP e HTTPS, utilizar (ou não) a função de apagar tags HTML, mas nenhum layout é capaz de exibir ao menos o texto - a marcação [linkfoto|image] também não traz nada. Enfim, vou torcer para que seja um bug, e não uma condição única das instalações que eu fiz. Obrigado, pessoal!
