Looking for tips on how to simply display a Google Calendar full screen with an XD232.

    That is a tough one. Authentication is a challenge, but Appspace figured it out.

    https://docs.appspace.com/appspace/6.2/appspace/signs/widget/standard-widgets/widget-event-calendar/#google-calendar-integration

    With that said, they may not support the aging XD232.

    Is that for a single sign?

    Most likely this will have to be done with a script on a server, that gets the data from Google for the Calendar, and then creates a PNG image of the data to serve to the player via Media RSS feed. I've done some similar projects this way, when authentication or data parameters were a bit much to do on the unit itself.

    Had the same line of thinking. Have you done anything with webkit2png?

    Figured the Appspace option should be explored, because they may have a working solution, and they are BrightSign friendly, as far as I know.
