Server behaviour depending on external instructions

Dear all,

nice to meet this community (this is my first post, I am not pretty sure about writting into ‘Features’, let me know if other category could be better).

I would like to control Xibo Server from outside, depending on certain conditions that I control through another software. My idea is to run that application and Xibo Server (that control serveral Xibo Clients) on the same hardware and I need to know how can that application to modify Xibo Server behaviour. Lets imagine that Xibo Server is showing in one Xibo Client a signage “A”. Lets imagine now that my other application receives certain specific signal. At that moment, I would like in some way (HOW?) that application could comunicate with Xibo Server. And Xibo Server after that communication would change the signage from “A” to “B” (for instance).

Sorry for the explanation, I am not sure of being clear enough. Any question or detail is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

You would need to utilize the new API ability in the upcoming CMS release. You could create a control system to act as the bridge/controller between the two systems.

You can find a little more on the upcoming CMS release here with information on the new API.

I hope that will help you.
