XiboPlayer 1.8 R6 - Wayland vs Xorg WebKitGTK

The old Linux Xibo Player will only Work with Xorg as Display Manager . New Linux Systems users Wayland, so the Player will show only a White or Grey Screen .

Try to switch to the old Xorg Display Manager will help.

For me the Problem is the old WebKitTK Engine - i will show a Webpage with a lot of jscript for a shop window but the page looks uncomplete .

Hi, i assume you are trying to use the snap version (1.8)
this is an old version, Xibo team are working on a new version for linux,
you can find more details in this topic

It is known that a new version is being worked on. But that doesn’t answer the question? I would like to know which browser engine was integrated in the last released version. Can someone release the new beta version of the player to test it against the Windows version and give feedback to the developers?

It is said that it will be electron based, so based on chrome browser engine backend ?
