We have a web page generated internally that provides various statistics/ measures. I have set one of the screens up to show this. it will be the only thing displayed on the screen.
To show this, I have applied the ‘webpage’ widget to the layout. My web page loads fine.
However I want the web page to refresh every 1 minute to reload the stats.
When refreshing the page on my PC browser, the page doesn’t ’go blank’ and then display the content when refreshing. the content is displayed on the screen then entire time. However on the Display in Xibo, the entire screen refreshes every time, meaning that every 1 minute, the screen flashes off and on.
Has anyone found any way to display and refresh the web page regularly without the web page disapearing completely before coming back onto the screen?
The browser used by the Tizen players will indeed reload the layout when the duration is reached. You could try using a transition between the reloads, to see if this helps with your issue. You could also try adding the webpage widget to a playlist more than once, then right click on each webpage widget in the layout and set in and out transitions. This should help to fade between the reloads, which will hopefully appear better than without the transitions.
I have instead opted for embedding an iFrame in a HTML widget instead, and using JS to refresh. the JS refresh is much quicker than the xibo refresh which means it’s barely visible when it does happen.
