After our entire region was completely destroyed by a natural disaster in 2021, we are only on the home stretch towards reopening.
We used Xibo until 2021 and were very satisfied with it.
Now I have to buy all of our company’s hardware again and would be very happy about a few tips!
I need TV and player hardware that can play everything if possible, can turn the TV off and on and uses little power. I have Lan on every player station.
It would be great to get a few tips, unfortunately I’m running out of time to read up on 1000 systems… THANK YOU!
For your needs, if you no longer have TV, you can take LG or Samsung in the digital signage series (preference for LG)
You can view the list of compatible screens here: Tizen (Samsung) Compatibility webOS (LG) Compatibility
No need additional equipment, ability to turn off and on from Xibo, …
For a new installation, it’s the best way.
However, you must choose the screens according to your needs (display, brightness, size, etc.)
Thanks for the information! We live in the Ahr Valley, which is between Cologne and Koblenz, this is what it looked like here in 2021… LINK
What advantage does LG have over Samsung and do all OS versions have the same options for displaying Xibo content? I probably need 55 inch displays and 1-2 75 or 85 inch devices. Do you have any tips for a 55 inch display in the range of up to 800, - which is good, many models were in the 1500 range and more, that will be rather difficult…
Samsungs magic info handles all the remote management firmware updates, sync play etc. the sync play works very well, but imo Samsung stuff is absolute garbage.
You can’t use magic info if an application is installed on the screen (like xibo).
It’s either you use an application or you use magic info to project your content (restricted to Samsung screen).
Oh, also, the latest version of magic info don’t work with the latest major version of PosgreSQL. I had to modify the installation program to create the tables.
Actually that’s not true. They also have. It’s called an RM license which gives you all the same functionality. Allows you to set the URL for your URL launcher like vivo and do firmware updates etc. The only thing it doesn’t have is magic info player cababilities
I use Microsoft SQL so I can’t speak to the postgres trouble. It’s kind of a moot point anyway as they’re ending magic info in 2026 and only existing perpetual licenses will be honoured, they’re really pushing for VXT . They have a similar RM only for VXT subscriptions as well, however I haven’t used RM only on VXT before
