Xibo Embed Sky News not working on player

[mdrabble]

Can anyone who uses Xibo please let me know if this is an issue related to just me or the Windows Client player.

 

I'm trying to stream an embed link for Sky News from Youtube - works fine via browser and when I am designing the layout, but when I come to run the layout on a Windows Client I am getting "Error occured on play back"

 

Check registry for the "Fix" and all good there.

 

Do I spend a little more time trying to sort it or do I give up now?

 

Cheers

Mine stopped working a few weeks ago, looks like they removed the allow embedding option on the video on youtube

Ours stopped working a while ago I think. Could never get it to work afterwards so we just stream a single promotional video now. Not ideal but unless someone else can fix. Cheers

I think they removed the ability to embed as it has something to do with YouTube ads not appearing.

 

I’ve been looking for another news stream to embed - anyone got any bright ideas?

 

Is there a website that shows BBC news? IPlayer won’t work with Xibo I think?

Solved!

Here is my Embed code - Had to put the Browser bit above the iframe

This is the code I use to get it fullscreen.

 

On the Embed, select custom Style Sheet and paste this code.

 

.videoContainer {
 position: absolute;
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%;
 top: 0;
 left: 0;
 bottom: 0;
 right: 0;
 display: flex;
 flex-direction: column;
 justify-content: center;
 align-items: center;
}

iframe {
 /* optional */
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%; 
}

 

Then on the Embed to Html

 

 

Hope that helps

This is great and its working well here. Just wondering what you or anyone else uses for a weather widget. I'm sure back in the day BBC or the MetOffice did a free widget but I believe this went as well.
