Xibo Auto Upload everyday

[Totem]

Hi,

I tried to search in previous topics but i didn’t found anything related to my problem…

I have several clients using Xibo and I’d like to push a different image every morning on all monitors.
Images are generated every morning by a scheduled program, and I’d like to find a way to push them in Xibo in an automatic way.
If I create once a layout and I simply change the library file, I guess it won’t be updated on Xibo clients.
I’d like to know if there is a way to dinamically upload the image, create a layout, assign it to displays by webservices or other routines, without having to execute the task manually.

Anyone has already did this?

Thanks in advance!

That could take the form of a video being updated on a daily basis, or an image. Since Xibo 1.5 series, there has been a “work in progress” OAuth authenticated API for scripting actions in the Xibo CMS. As of Xibo 1.6.0-rc1, there are enou…
