Linux Player - 1.8 R4 Released

Share

The team at Xibo Signage are pleased to announce that our fourth 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. The Linux Player can be connected to a v2 CMS to benefit from the new Layout Designer interface and options, but currently does not support the v2 Player exclusive features. We will be working hard over the coming weeks and months to bring this Player up to a full feature set.

New in this release:

  • Improvements to Video Playback
  • Proof of Play Statistics Recording
  • 11 issues and fixes

Please follow our installation guide for a walkthrough on how to install/upgrade or uninstall the Xibo for Linux Player.

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.
