Running the xiboside app

reemaRaven commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I am facing this issues as below :

Running xiboside doesn't work. Have to run this way : python xiboside
when running python xiboside -c xiboside_config.json where I have created xiboside_config.json contents as : (omitting the actual server URL and serverkey.) It doesn't generate the config file on its own. So I created it and fed it.

{ "saveDir": "/tmp/xibot", "url": "http://xxxx.com/", "serverKey": "yyyy", "strTimeFmt": "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", "cmsTzOffset": 5 * 3600, # GMT+5 "res_file_ext": ".html", "layout_file_ext": ".xml", "xmdsVersion": 4, "xmrPubUrl": "tcp://localhost:5550", }

On running with the config file - gives empty errror -

E:\>python xiboside
qt.qpa.gl: Unable to disable rotation.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "xiboside", line 29, in <module>
    cfg = xibo.XiboConfig(args.config)
  File "xibo.py", line 19, in __init__
    self.load()
  File "xibo.py", line 46, in load
    for k, v in tmp.iteritems():
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

xiboside_config.zip

Would be great if you could give some pointers. Ideally, it should pick up the config file that is fed to the command.

Thanks, Reema

Hi @reemaRaven, I think you're using python3 as default. The xiboside code is implemented to run with python2. Make sure you have python2 installed and try something like python2 xiboside

Hi,

Thanks for your reply! Really appreciate. Yes, I was using python3.6. So I had modified the code as per that, but still a lot of unknown dependencies.

I ran the code in 2.7 where there were a few packages needed to be installed. Still post installation of crypto, the code keeps saying "no module named crypto". Am I still missing something?

Thanks! Reema

In Linux I usually install python-crypto, for example in Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-crypto.

You can try to install pycrypto from pip: pip install pycrypto but I don't have sure if it will work on Windows.

After a lot of efforts I am stuck at this error -

Then saw this : https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/238 Pycrypto is no longer supported. They ask me to work with pycryptodome. Installed the same on python2.7 " from Crypto import Random ImportError: No module named Crypto "

Still says the same error :(
