The Display is running Ubuntu 20 and therefore has the Linux player.
I have already connected the display to my CMS and it is also displayed in the CMS.
The Problem is that the player itself is completely stuck in the splash screen and doesnt seem able to download new content from the CMS.
Within the CMS the Status button just shows an x that says “Display is downloading new files”.
The default library of the Display is set to “/home//snap/xibo-player”.
If anyone knows how to fix this then please help me.
Yes I think I am having the same issue. I recently upgraded my server and all the old clients seem to be connecting fine, but when I install new clients they just sit there at the XIBO screen and never go anywhere. I cannot send content to them or schedules to them.
i know this is an old topic, but i have yet the same problem.
I new Server installation without ssl.
Player and Server are on the same subnet.
The debian 12 KDE player with the newest version of the player installed over snap und i have only the splash screen und the player is authorized on the xibo server and shows downloading content all the time.
I have only activated the default layout.
As far as I can tell its basically not possible now to connect the linux clients to the server. I have no idea if the company knows about this or cares. There is a beta version of the next version that says its 100% complete, but it does not work either. I have also had zero success installing the windows client using WINE, it would be really nice if that worked so we had a fallback option.
Thats fine, but can anyone from the community tell us why we cannot connect anymore on the existing linux client? All we get is the startup screen.
Also, is a web client that runs in a (full screen - kiosk) browser even a remote possibility? That would enable us to eliminate a client on linux completely.
