Hi,

You will need to install curl then

Please have a look here:

Using Tickers, Forecast, Twitter and other external resources that make use of HTTPS connections

Using Tickers, Forecast, Twitter and other external resources that make use of HTTPS connections It is easy to reference and use external sources in Xibo widgets such as Tickers, however special consideration may need to be taken when referencing resources provided over SSL (anything with HTTPS at the front of the Address).

I should have mentioned i have also installed cURL.

sudo apt-get install PHP5-cURL

I assumed i may have had to uncomment a line in PHP.ini but cannot find it

Any other suggestions?

EDIT: It does work in the CMS layout preview. i had originally tried the twitter module using the API key and API secret to no success. that just gave me an empty region in both preview and client player. using the embedded HTML seem to get me closer.

EDIT 2: On the back of when you mentioned twitter rss and forecast, i noticed that my forecast temperature shows the wrong value also. RSS feeds work as expected however this is HTTP so imagine is not affected.
