Issue

When we display some Power BI Report (Power BI on premise) with the Xibo for windows player (with CEF), it tooks 35-50 sec to appears correctly on the screen. When we display the same report directly into a web browser (Edge/Chrome), it tooks 10-15 sec.

Is anyone know if it’s possible to “optimize” the CEF browsing into the Xibo player ?

Hi ITIS, welcome to the community!

Displaying Power BI reports on the Xibo player has been a topic raised before by other Xibo users. Below is a link to another post about using Power BI with some suggestions on how you can display your reports. I hope you find the information helpful.

Powerbi webpage load issue

Hi dbrifox, welcome to the community! Some users have found that displaying Power BI using the standard webpage widget does not always work as expected. It is instead recommended to embed your dashboard, which allows you to create an iframe to be used with the embedded widget available in Xibo layout designer. Below are links to the documentation for Power BI which explain how to create an embeddable version of your dashboard. Please note that access to this functionality may not be included in…

Many Thanks.

Hello DanBw,

Thank you for your answer. Effectively, I already tried the possibility to put the PowerBI Report Webpage into an iframe (via the widget Xibo embed). And we win almost 5 sec appearance delay…Always far than 15 sec natively.

Thank you for your reply and for letting me know you have tried using an iframe. Did you use the Power BI functionality shown in the linked documents on that post to create an iframe? If yes but the reports are still not loading fast enough, unfortunately I do not have a solution to this, my apologies. I have tested many user’s reports and found it is possible for them to load quicker than you are seeing but this was using the methods shown in the links in the post I referenced.

Many Thanks.
