maniac Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I use powerpoint for photo displays, BUT when you save the presentation make sure you turn image compression ON and it doesn't crash when it tries to load big images. I've always found the powerpoint playing abilities of Xibo to be very reliable and by far the most useful feature, as I just get people to submit their content in powerpoint format to me now - job done! Mike.

But i would like to know why i have the video problem? Check that you have the latest updates installed. Could be that you need a later version that what you are currently running? Does the video run fine if you try it outside Xibo? And you might also want to restart the client to get it to register the new content.

anup509 Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Did you get yours working yet? Still not going here. Nah, not yet, the page doesnt even work outside Xibo. Will have to go on BBC website and play around with the source. Will let you know if I can get it working.
anup509 Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Has any manage to get BBC working? or does anyone have link for Live World Cup 2010?
frosty Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Our feed has just started working...we didn't do anything! Problem must have been on the BBC's end?
Crowmanuk Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Same here, I wandered past today and it was playing, must have been getting on for midmorning after I added a few new items to it.
anomex Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 got the BBC link working with our ticket list Hello, Just quickly, how did you manage to remove the "control" bar from the embedded player? Has had me baffled! Many thanks, Paul R. Smith.
OllieC Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 As far as I remember, I just resized the region on the layout so it chopped off the controlls.
capncrunch Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 As far as I remember, I just resized the region on the layout so it chopped off the controlls. Ditto!
TwoZeroAlpha Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 I'm using the sky player, and changed the code so it said I believe there's a similar bit on the BBC version, but I've not investigated.
mhundley Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Has anyone managed to insert a sharepoint calendar into Xibo? I am trying to put the schools monthly calendar into a region on the display, unfortunately I have no control over the sharepoint site as it is all housed at County. When loading the calendar page into a region it loads the whole page which includes the top and side navigation bars, I only want/need the monthly view itself. Ideally there will be some magic line of code which sharepoint uses to call the relevant page, if I can put that into a region on Xibo then I will be very happy. Any guidance gratefully recieved.
Jamo Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 Try creating a new aspx page using sharepoint designer and add the view into the page without including the master page, this way you will just get the parts you want and not the template. You should be able to do this in the design view and then turn it into an XSL data view webpart which you can then customise futher by getting rid of the headers etc.
strawberry Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 bbc page is borked since the new website, does anyone have an updated link tohand?
lewisburgess Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I found for some reason that the Sky News video wasn't working today. I found another method, not sure how legit or not! Using Safari's Inspect Element feature, I found that Sky News headlines are produced as an flv file which they wrap up in their player. Calling their player doesn't work, presumably due to the referrer. Instead, I used a free flash player: JW Player: Flash Video Player | LongTail Video | Home of the JW Player Then grabbed the FLV location: http://static1.sky.com/feeds/skynews/latest/daily/webheads.flv Finally, coding this page and uploading it, along with the JW Player files to one of our webservers, allowed me to play the Sky News headlines video automatically (without the menu bar too) instead of using their WMV stream. Note, the Sky News flash video size is still pretty small at 500x282, but I doubled it up and well, it's a bit bigger! <br /> var s1 = new SWFObject("http://your local web server/flashplayer/player.swf","ply","1000","564","9","#FFFFFF");<br /> s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");<br /> s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");<br /> s1.addParam("controlbar","none");<br /> s1.addParam("flashvars","file=http://static1.sky.com/feeds/skynews/latest/daily/webheads.flv&autostart=true&controlbar=none");<br /> s1.write("container");<br /> Hope that helps someone!
yudhi Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Hi all, I want to implement Xibo, and has installed the latest Xibo server and client. How to implement the TV as the display if the server is in 3rd floor and we have 5 floors with 3 TV display each floor?
lewisburgess Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Further to my previous post, here's a couple of links for BBC News bulletins and Sky Sports News daily report: Sky Sports News Daily report: http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/us1.24.00.02/BrightcoveBootloader.swf?%40videoPlayer=1806217383&autoStart=true&dynamicStreaming=true&flashID=myExperience&height=412&isUI=true&isVid=true&playerID=29318049001&publisherID=165012893&videoSmoothing=true&width=648&wmode=transparent BBC News headlines: 1
strawberry Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 dont suppose anyone has a link to the live news channel do they? the one Lewis posted is the headlines only
lewisburgess Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Here's the code I lifted via Safari's inspect element feature on the BBC News live streaming page. Of course using it may break the BBC's T&C. Further, it might even break it further (targeting the content at children under 13 etc): BBC - Embedding Terms and Conditions It would technically be possible to remove the menu at the bottom by removing key &config_settings... elements in the code above, but I'm not going to paste the code here because I think that'd be dodgy ground as it's changing code that's not mine rather than just pasting in a small part of their code easily viewable in the source of the page. Hope that helps! PS: Don't forget, to view the link above you must have a TV license as you'd be viewing live TV. Playing clips, highlights, headlines, iPlayer videos are not subject to this requirement as it's not live. 1
skell Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Anyone know if its possible to customise an RSS ticker with html? I want to add line breaks to an rss feed which is coming from a Wordpress install on site!
