Hello Natasha, where to submit request to join Linux player group ?

23

Here: Linux player beta testers - Xibo Community

24

that was hyperfast , tnx ProServ :slight_smile:

25

sadly, same result: Submit a request for group membership to access the latest information regarding the Linux Player and Alpha/Beta test releases.

You’re not allowed to view the members.

so, where is “request” button hidden ?

27

The button is hidden because you are already a member:

You can see your group memberships here: Groups - Xibo Community

I think it’s a bug

I noticed that my status has changed from beta_tester to linux_beta_tester, but i was not able to see group. I see membership page and i managed to post yesterday on group.

but yes, it seems like some loop bug.

You should be able to view that now for the Linux Group. I set your membership up for the Linux Beta testing group but you can of course be a member to both if you want to help us test and feedback on other non Linux Player releases :slight_smile: Let me know and I can add you.

Thank you

31

noticed i was out of beta_testing group … you can add me back.
Tnx

Hi @natasha, are you still accepting new beta testers for the Linux player? I sent a request to join several days ago, but haven’t heard back yet. Would be super interested in giving it a go.

33

Hey, just wondering if there is a date for a beta release of the Linux Player that we can test and provide feedback on?

34

Hi, we would like to have more information on the current status of development of Xibo Linux player.
The Xibo for Linux page has only a dead link on the top under

More info on our website here: Xibo for Linux

Where can we track the development? And is it even open source?

It should be fully open sourced.

To track linux player dev progress, join the “linux beta testers” group.

36

Beta Testers group is only for people running 5+ players for 1+ year. So I’ve been kicked out of it. :cry:

37

Since this group is called Linux beta tester group, there should be no such requirements as player does not exist yet in public space !

Try join directly here: https://community.xibo.org.uk/c/dev/linuxbetatesters/56

38

Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.

Sorry, it seems you must be member first to visit this linux beta tester group link:
https://community.xibo.org.uk/c/dev/linuxbetatesters/56

I see on second link you sent “page not found” on membership request:
https://community.xibo.org.uk/t/membership-request-for-linux-beta-testers/35645/2,

I am not sure where request page has gone … we better ask:

@natasha , did “linux beta tester group” membership request page got removed ?

41

As we have had a lot of requests to this group we have had to add to some criteria in order to control memberships. It was decided by the team to have a minimum of 5 displays and at least a year of using the Xibo CMS.
Of course, I can still make exceptions to this if there is a known reason, so please DM me with further info.

Thank you

Page should still be available for logged in users: Linux player beta testers - Xibo Community
