DJ-Jonesy Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Has anybodys live sky news round ups stopped working since the summer? started it up the other week and all we get is the Sky News Logo with some rather annoying music?
stiggy77 Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Hi guys Is it possible to change the size of the Sky News video feed (i.e zoom the image), I've copied across the embedded XML and it works fine but just a little small to see clearly. Cheers

glennda Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I've pasted it into xibo, yeah I meant here so i can view it!
glennda Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 try changing type="application/x-oleobject" height="314" width="320"> to whatever screen size you want
stiggy77 Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) thanks, I've already tried that. What happens is that the screen frame size is increased but the video remains as it was. Edited October 11, 2011 by stiggy77
glennda Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Sorry you will need to change both type="application/x-oleobject" height="314" width="320" and filename="mms://live1.wm.skynews.servecast.net/skynews_wmlz_live300k" name="WMPlay" showcontrols="1" showdisplay="0" showstatusbar="1" autostart="true" height="314" width="320"/>

stiggy77 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Many thanks Glennda, I'll give that a try and let you know if it works unfortunately that doesn't work, it enlarges the player but not the video feed
ptotham Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I use it for the staffroom display and foyer display. Staffroom display really only embeds ppts, but saves me remoting in to change them and allows automatic rotation. The foyer has the daily bulletin (updated by office staff, they picked it up really well, surprised me ). Also has BBC news RSS feed and a live Sky News video feed. I'm very happy with it and compared to the thought of paying thousands for other options, I can't thank the creators enough... Also (perhaps more because of a small user base atm) I found their support when it was pre 1.0 very helpful and you feel (because I suspect you are) you are talking to someone who really knows it back to front. Alex Can i ask how did you get your sky news video feed working as I am having no joy?
ptotham Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 embeded html code BBC NEWS | Video and Audio | News Channel Live | BBC News Channel gloader.load( [ "glow", "1"], { onLoad : function(glow) { window.emp_load = new bbc.emp_fmtj({}); glow.ready( function() { if (emp_load.isEmpWrittenOnLoad) { emp_load.writeAllEmpContent(); } }); } } ); http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45666000/jpg/_45666099_watchnow_generic512.jpg Please turn on JavaScript.

stiggy77 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 try and keep the player nice and simple standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject"> 2
ptotham Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 sorry to be a pain have just tried your script out at work where are running IE 9 and it doesn't seem to work only likes IE 7 any idea on how to get it working?
ptotham Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Has anyone managed to get time and date on the screen?
LoyalHeretic Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Has anyone managed to get time and date on the screen? Using a flash module I downloaded I managed to get time and date, although there were complaints that every 13th of the month it said "13rd". I ended up writing my own module using a tutorial.
ptotham Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 thanks for that, I managed to find a widget which I could embed, I dont suppose you stream any live news video feeds to yours by any chance just having a bit of nightmare trying to get sky or bbc working from the code provided on here.
LoyalHeretic Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I did find one stream from the BBC which I could embed, but we don't use audio on any of the displays so I stuck with just an RSS in the end. Having had a quick search just now, looks like they've removed the embedding option from the latest version of their player. If you look at this link here; BBC Enables Video Embedding, Sets Good Example for You and Me | NativeHQ It now just says 'undefined' where it used to give the embed code..
ptotham Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I have an embbeded code for sky news but it seem to only like IE 7 or below and our machine run win 7 with IE8.
Crowmanuk Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I've given up on embedded feeds and put a USB tv card in the machine with a little aerial and just overlay the tv on the xibo client, it works really well and I only had to modify the layout a little bit to make room for it.
johnduckworth Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I'm glad this thread has started. I'm going to rebuild an old server with Server 2008 and was going to install this on it. Anyone had problems putting it on a Server 2008 environment? Client machines will still be XP. I have it currently running on server 2008R2 on an amazon EC2 instance :-)
edie209 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 just reviving an old thread. I can get sky news working by embedding it using code earlier in the tread but has anyone got BBC news working now?
ianniow Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I have a "bbcnews.htm" document on my intranet server and point my xibo page to it Code Below "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> BBC Live Streams In order to see this content you need to have both Javascript enabled and Flash installed.
