The command is xibo-player-test
.
You should be testing 0.5.1 as that’s the current test release. See:
Today we're making available another preview of the forthcoming Player for Linux.
This new version supports connecting to CMS instances over http or https, and to CMS instances that run inside sub directories, or on custom ports. It also supports legacy XMDS file downloads so no special configuration of the CMS File Download Mode is required.
This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://blog.xibo.org.uk/linux-player-technology-preview-0-5-alpha/
ok i will check it. one more thing cms patch didn’t work

If the CMS patch isn’t applied then the Player won’t work either.
If you have a 1.8.12 CMS, then you don’t need to apply the patch as it’s already included in the core CMS at that version.
hi @alex ,
i hope you’re fine.
i ran following command
xibo-layer-test --host yourcms.example.org --server-key yourkey --hardware-key yourhardwarekey
i’m logged in with root but still getting this error.
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/run/user/0’: Permission denied
terminate called after throwing an instance of ‘std::filesystem::__cxx11::filesystem_error’
what(): filesystem error: cannot create directory: Permission denied [/var/lib/snapd/void/resources]

The command is not xibo-layer-test
. It is xibo-player-test
, and from the latest release xibo-player
.
Newer versions also require you to specify whether you want them to connect over http or https.
Please go to the latest release blog post, and follow the instructions there. You must not be running as the root user, you must be a regular user for it to work.
yes, i used xibo-player-test command. miss typed above.
Thanks for your quick response, i will go through the link.
the version of my cms is 1.8.12
i used http instead of https
xibo-player --host https://yourcms.example.org --server-key yourkey --hardware-key yourhardwarekey
i got this

Can you check that you have a Linux Display Settings Profile setup in your CMS, and that it has a sensible setting for the client size and position settings please.

Sounds like you might be running the Player from a non-graphical interface?
You need to be logged in to the Unity/Gnome desktop environment to run the Player, and you must be logged in locally - ie you can’t launch it from an SSH session.
