The Xibo client relies on Internet Explorer. You will find that Internet Explorer on Server 2008 is highly restrictive. You will need to make some changes to Internet Options to defeat the built in protections that prevent everything from working. You will also need to make some registry changes as well to get the client working correctly on any windows machine.

I would recommend against using the client on Window Server.

If Server 2008 doesn’t have Windows Media Player then Xibo can’t work as a Player there. It needs Windows Media Player to function.

You may be able to install that as an optional Windows component.

Thanks alex for your reply .

i think that should install Windows Media Services . is it right?

It sounds plausible. It’s not something I’ve done myself as we only recommend installing the Player on the desktop variants of Windows.
