Windows 10 IoT as Xibo Client using Raspberry Pi 3

22

I agree,
It could be tested just to see if it works.
I am using this Windows 10 loT Enterprise 2015 LTSB (ESD) in several regular players including the Compute Sticks and very happy with the functionality.

My understanding is that IoT Enterprise requires an x86 CPU. The RPi will get IoT Core I think. The two aren’t really the same OS at all.

You are absolutely correct Alex.

Oh wow, a few people have jumped the gun here.

You are right Alex, I’ve got a collection of R-Pi’s and I’ve used them for a lot of things both at work and at home. Windows 10 IoT is an Arm-based version of Windows, not x86. What’s more it’s quite stripped down, so not only would you need Xibo Player compiling for Arm to run, you’d need to be sure there are enough parts of system left (API’s, libraries and the like) for it to run in the hypothetical situation it could ported to Windows on Arm.

We considered R-Pi for our displays (using Linux), but in the end the work required wasn’t worth it when we considered the cost of something like a Compute Stick or a NUC/Brix.

L8r.

Hi Alex! Is Ubuntu OS still supported for Xibo Client?

27

No it isn’t.

28

So we can’t use it anymore?

29

It’s no longer developed or supported. You can use it if you wish, but we don’t offer any support for it, and it won’t work with a modern CMS. If you’re deploying a new setup, please consider using something supported!

Hello, any updates on this?

I have rpi3 and I need somehow to run xibo client to arm arch.
