Hi,
Question for Xibo 1.8 on Windows.
I have a customer request. Is it possible to split the Screen horizontally, lets say Top80/Bottom20%, and have the normal Playlist in the bigger top part and in the bottom a text string which should be controlled clientside (and it has to work offline, because the WLAN is very unstable). The text should write eg. “My Name is: $Name” where the $Name Variable comes from an USB stick.
Hope you can help!
You can certainly have the Xibo Player run in a defined area of the screen. What you then put in the other half of the screen is totally up to you. To do so, simply configure size and position offset in the Display Settings defined for your Player in the CMS.
You could certainly develop an application that showed text from a USB stick and showed that in part of the screen, but that would be outside of Xibo.
Yes it works with a split layout where the bottom part shows a webpage which points to a local html file (file://c:/…/message.html) with an update rate of 10sec and a python script that changes the html file accordingly.
