Widgets not working and website not fullscreen

1

hi,
i just started using xibo.
overall it works, i have a thin client running ubuntu 24.04, and xibo via docker is up and running. in addition i have xibo-player running through snap. both player and server are successfully connected, the playlist is working fine, when using images or websites.
but

  1. as soon as i use other widgets like clocks, i only have a background displayed, no widgets. i tried with text and forms, the same.
    any idea what is happening here?
  2. i have display connected with 1920x1200 pixel. the website is loaded and shown, but it seems that i have a black frame at the top and the bottom, hiding some oarts of the page. it seems like only 1920x1080 is shown. even if i configure the screen to 1920x1200 this is the case. on the other hand it doesn’t change nanything when changing the display settings to 1920x1080 in xibo. any ideas?

Another one bites the dust with Snap player abandonware!

As it says on main Linux player webpage, official Linux player follow here:

Unofficial Linux player follow here:

hi,
i tried your client, but i don’t get it to run.
compiling is fine, but when starting i get (key is changed, display is already registered in xibo):

root@srv1:/opt/arexibo# arexibo --host http://localhost --key 123123123  .

run once to register player on server with key:
arexibo --host https://my.cms/ --key DIR

run after registration:
arexibo --host https://my.cms/ DIR

hi,
i got it to work. i had permissions issues with directories in .config. fixing this seems to do the job.

Glad to hear that you got Arexibo working !
If you get/find any bugs/errors while using Arexibo, it would help a lot if you report them directly to birkenfeld, Arexibo developer on github.
