client cache webpages #60

Open knitehawk opened 9 years ago

knitehawk commented 9 years ago

it would be nice if the client would cache the webpages scheduled to play so that in the event of network loss it will continue to display. some displays have wireless network connections. heck some are on wireless bridges, or cdma networks that can loose connection for a period of time. it will pick back up again, but sometimes it might be an hour or more. i would rather display slightly old data then no data. also i will be getting email's informing me of the connection loss so i can take action. for licensing i don't mind if it looses data after a time, but at least not for a day or so. as network providers can be slow to respond. Thanks

Sure, this is a good idea - but also extremely difficult. The number of permutations of files that a webpage might need in order to function correctly are very large.

I've tagged it up as a requires blueprint so we don't loose sight of the issue.

Hi.. maybe have a option off having "off-line" content on areas where we "Webpage" shown.. when there is network outage the screen can show images or video than just going blank.

I do like that idea - we will have a think how we might achieve that.

Hey Dan, we've implemented a webpage caching scheme if it's worth while talking.

I'd be very happy to look at a pull request or some code if you have it available?

For my, it's just a static page with styles and div. No external JS, CSS or images. I'm using this webpage because the layout editor with dataset didn't do the job for us.

I'd love to cache it on Xibo side. Having to process the page everything get a small display lag.
