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.

Local access

Xibo Player Apps have an embedded web server, available at localhost which supports returning various metadata from the running application. 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
}

Port

The default port is 9696, but this can be changed using the Display Settings Profile in the CMS.

External Access

If allowed in the Xibo CMS Display Settings Profile for your Display, the Player App can also be accessed over the WAN.
