Player Info

The Embedded, Package HTML and Web Page Widgets, as well as custom Widgets allow HTML, CSS and JavaScript to be embedded into the Player.

Xibo v2

Starting in Xibo for Android v2 R207 and Xibo for Windows v2 R255 it is possible to call /info on localhost to get information about the running player. You can do this from any Widget which uses a browser.

$.get("http://localhost:9696/info");

This returns:

{
  "hardwareKey": "",
  "displayName": "",
  "timeZone": "",
  "latitude": null,
  "longitude": null
}

Xibo v3

Starting in version 3 of Xibo we have a library available to make consuming the above information easier. You can find this here: https://github.com/xibosignage/xibo-interactive-control
