A problem with Static/RSS ticker

aku · ‎01-04-2010

Hello everyone!

I have a test lab set up (DMM 5.1 and DMP-4305G, license is OK).

I made a few presentations with Cisco Digital Media Designer that included video, text ticker and RSS ticker.

Video works fine.

Static text ticker almost works perfect, only i can't change the effect of text (it's alwys fadeing even if i change it to left/fight scroll).

RSS feeds are visible in Cisco Digital Media Designer and seems to work, but when i play it on DMP, the box with rss feed is blank.

Please, i need some advice, i tried everything i could think of...

Best Regards,

Ales

Hi Ales

Can you upload the RSS feed that you are using?

I had problems with RSS feeds and is not shown in the display, but it solved by removing a few lines of code in the XML file.

The DMP 4305G only support "fade in fade out" effect, this is a limitation.

The DMP 4400 support "fade in fade out" and "Scrolling" effect.

Hi Aurelio,

Thank you for your post!

This is the rss link i am using:

http://www.rtvslo.si/slovenija/rss

As i said link appears to work in Digital Media Designer.

When scheduling the presentation to DMP i have no result.

I tried different links. This for instance link works perfect-> http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/europe/rss.xml

i also copied the source code of bbcRSS and modified it (it is attached to this post) and put it on my web server, checked it with explorer - it works;

on Digital Media Designer the link is not reachable, please advise.

What could be the issue? Character coding maybe?

( i also noticed by using static ticker that DMP-4305 can't show slovenian special characters => š č ć ž )

Does DMP-4305 / Digital Media Designer support different character coding?

Thanks again for you help,

Cheers!
