Storing Live Text data in memory

I'm trying to show some text and image content using RSS feed and it's working ok.

I like always to simulate the situation when the player loses the connection and there is a reboot. Just to asure that the player will be always displaying content.

In this case, when I try that, the image from the RSS feed remains (so I guess that is stored in memory) but the text doesn't. I would like also to have the text stored so it will be display though the conecction is lost.

Thanks,

Carlos

    Are both images and text from the same feed url?

    Can you post the url so we can examine?

    Hi,

    there are two different files: one for the images and one for the text.

     

    Yo can find them here:

    I have not fully tested this hack, so try this at your own risk :)

    On the SD card there is a directory called feed_cache in which MRSS feeds are being cached. When a feed is set to content usage as Text, the feed is not cached in feed_cache. What you could do is set the feed for content usage as MRSS, just for caching. The XML will be cached  in the feed_cache directory, so you should be able to define a second Data Feed that reads the cached feed as a local file.

    Let us know if that worked for you.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have checked. In normal conditions it works, but when the connection is lost and the unit is rebooted the text content is missing.

    It's strange since I check the SD and the file TextFeed-as-MRSS.xml is created in the feed_cache directory and it remains after the reboot

    It is working here.

    I've disconnected the network cable, and rebooted. The Text is showing in an RSS on a Ticker zone.

    If you post your presentation, I could take a closer look.

    It is working offline after a few correction made to the presentation.

    Please check how you assign the fields in the Live Text

    Perfect :)

    Remember that that is sort of a hack, so test well.
