We have new v3 Android and Windows players available with this release, with the other players functioning in a backwards compatible mode.

The minimum version of Xibo for webOS that will function with a v3 CMS is v2 R206. The minimum version of Xibo for Tizen that will function with a v3 CMS is v2 R202.

At the time of writing these are the latest players:

v2 players will connect to a v3 CMS, but please be aware that v3 features will not be supported.

1.8 players will also function but please be aware that v2/v3 features will not be supported.

We recommend using player software of the same version as your CMS.

If you use any of our commercial players (Android, webOS or Tizen) and have taken advantage of on-premise licensing, please update your on-premise licensing module at the same time as you upgrade your CMS.
