DelphiPhin

Hey @delphiphin, sorry, no. A cheap in-between solution still requires multiple days of programming, and I would really like to spend that time on a great Pro version instead ??

Yeah kinda, though without scheduling I have to look for another solution. Time-based scheduling is a must for the usecase here.

Duh, and I guess I couldn’t get me something cheap programmed together if I donate for a Pro-version in advance? ??

Sorry, took longer to finish my work.

just lemme see if I got this right: If I create a channel “TV” and config it to show “channel 1 and I add a start- and endtime for the temporary-channel “channel 2” let’s say for 01.01.2019 – 01.03.2019 the site under “https://server/foyer/tv/” will show channel 2 until the end-time is reached, right? What then? Will /tv refresh automatically and load channel 1?

I noticed some “flaws” here (atleast from my project viewpoint):

– if I change anything inside of the slides or the channel this change isn’t refreshed on the TV until /foyer/tv is refreshed
– Youtube-videos don’t start automatically on page-load (atleast if I click on the URL in the “Channel” page of WordPress and use “open in private window”). Haven’t checked how it would behave on a Pi with a fullscreenbrowser.
– schedulung actually works on a display-base, not on a channel-base (my misconception

So right now I can’t use Foyer for the project here because I can’t set atleast one channel per Start/End-time. If there would be a per-channel scheduluding I could atleast as many channels as I need to split up the different slides to display.

I also could avoid the problem that I have to reset everything again for each other day: I could use crontab to automatically edit the wordpress-database to set the end-date to the next day before the Pi runs its shutdown-script.

Yay? More like meh.

I don’t know, right now a working config would look like this:

channel 1: 08:00-11:59
channel 2: 12:00-12:59
channel 3: 13:00-13:59
channel 4: 14:00-18:00

The problem is, this needs to be redone every damn day… that is my prob.
I will check this if I’m back home. I use a DigitalOcean instance, I broke it often enough ??

I would definitely pay for that. ??

I thought about removing the part of the plugin that handles the date-scheduling and just using the time.

By removing <div class=”xdsoft_datepicker active”> from the admin-interface the whole plugin breaks ?? I assume the scheduling is done somewhere else.
