XIBO - RSS Ticker failing

[SimpleSi]

I've got an Xibo system setup with an RSS Tickertape region at the top of the screen which works while I'm in the school but has failed everytime I come back to the school

 

The other region contains my customised Google Calendar webpage and that runs 24/7 fine.

 

Anyone else had this sort of problem?

We have xibo set up here. We have the same issue as well. I have not tried this yet but in theory it should work without a hitch. You could create a webpage that you host internally, with a java based ticker and then use a PHP script to download and manipulate a RSS file. Give me a shout if you want a copy of the code I created.

 

Hope this helps

a) what's the length in seconds of the content, is it dying when it reloads?

b) proxy? is it getting new content when it starts up?

[SimpleSi]

I've added 2 copies of the same feed (as I'd heard of other issues with it not updating)

 

I've got the content length set to 30 secs - it all works fine while I'm there and dies sometime when I'm not

 

The feed is from the schools own externally hosted website through a proxy which is enabled.

PS I've enabled a BBC news feed in another region so I'll see if the've both died next time I'm in (Thurs)
