The team at Xibo Signage are pleased to announce that our first release of the new Xibo Player for Linux is ready. This release works with Xibo CMS version 1.8.12 or later.

The Xibo Player for Linux supports a sub-set of Xibo's overall features and you can see what is supported on our website. We will be working hard over the coming weeks and months to bring this up to a full feature set.

We'd love to accept contributions to this players development, whether that be by fixing a bug or implementing one of the missing features. The repository is available on GitHub, as is the Contributors Licence Agreement.

The player is under active development, so we ask that before starting any issue you liaise with the team in the issue comments to make sure we aren't duplicating our work.
