Hello, I installed the xibo cms and xibo player for linux. All is working fine but except when I add a website that is asking for cookies. On the preview its not asking for cookies but when on the player it every time asks foor cookies.
Is there a solution for this.?
HI Frank3523, welcome to the community!
The pop up messages from websites for Cookies are configured and handled by the website themselves. Because of this, there is not a solution to cookies messages appearing in scheduled Layouts. Some users find that resolving the request by accepting the cookies can stop the message from reappearing in the event but this is not guaranteed.
If you have not tried doing so already, I would recommend clicking on the cookies pop up when it appears on your Linux Player to see if the issue is then resolved.
Many Thanks.
Hello Dan,
Yes I already tried that but its very difficult to use the mouse in the player.
But after evry time I accept the cookies they appear again.
Thanks for the help.
Thank you for letting me know. I would be happy to test the website on my own Linux Player if you like? If you would like me to do that, feel free to pass on the URL in a reply to this message or in a PM if you do not wish to share the address publicly.
If the cookies pop up is not disappearing after being clicked, then this unfortunately cannot be worked around with the Xibo player, as the cookies message is configured by the website owner. My apologies for any inconvenience caused. You may be able to contact the website owner for further support.
Many Thanks.
The website I tried was www.nu.nl
Its a dutch news website.
I hope you can find something.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Frank,
I think my scenario is a bit different. I am using the RSS-feed from nu.nl and that is working fine.
It’s just a hint, maybe you can implement using RSS?

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the hint. I already did that but then I only have text. I tought it would look better to have images.
But thanks for sharing.

Frank
Hello Frank, (I think you are Dutch, but I will write in English so others can also follow this),
This is my layout, RSS-feed from nu.nl with images. And as an extra the rain forecast and the weather widget.
Regards, Peter
Hi Peter,
Yes youre right i’m dutch. That looks good. Are you willing to share that layout because that is just what I want. I’m new to narrowcasting and Xibo but are trying to setup something for the appartement were I live.

Frank
Hi Frank,
of course I will share it. Because I also learn from others.
Maybe you can import this layout, just try it. I am not sure which version you have, and if the files need to be from the same version player or CMS.
Or you can overwrite the default template and use this code:
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="row">
<div class="column left">
<p>[Link|image]<br><br></p>
</div>
<div class="column right">
<p class="date">[Date]</p><p class="title">[Title]</p><br>
<p class="description">[Description]</p>
</div></div><br><br>
CSS:
* { box-sizing: border-box;}
column {float: left;}
.left {width: 360px; padding-top:50px; padding-left:40px;}
.right {width: 1010px; padding-top:50px; padding-right:15px;}
.row:after {content: ""; display: table; clear: both; padding-bottom: 2px;}
.date {font-size:28px;}
.title{ font-size: 44px; font-weight:700;}
.description{ font-size: 36px; font-weight:500;}
Just le me know if you need more help,
Regards, Peter

Hello Peter,
Importing the layout worked. I’m using the linux player and lates 2.1.0 CMS. But I chenged the RSS feed from nu.nl to https://www.gelderlander.nl/home/rss.xml. I see the i text but with this feed I don’t see images. Do you know why. Or is this due to the website not providing them.
Regards,
Frank
Hi Frank, I have to do some testst. I don’t know where it is going wrong.
In the RSS-feed it seems there are images.
I will try and let you know.
Maybe there are also other members here, that are willing to help?
Regards, Peter
Hi Frank,
I validated the RSS-feed and there seems to be a lot of problems with it.
Just check it here.
I am sorry, but I don’t know how to solve this.
Maybe someone in this community knows the answer?
Regards, Peter
Hi Peter,
Yes I see. I think I will switch then to the nu.nl rss feed.
And maybe someone comes up with a solution.
Thanks for the help so far.
Regards,
Frank
