Tube and trio updates widget

Hi,

Hope you can help. Have set up a few bright signs now but have been asked by the client if its possible to show live departure info from Euston and Tube status.

Sure this will be possible but I can't find anything through the manuals or online. 

 

Thanks

Mike

    Mike:

    This should be possible.

    What players are you using? What is the zone size in pixels where you would be displaying this (approximately if you don't know exactly yet)?

    This probably won't be done directly on players, but would be a custom feed through one of my servers. I am going to look at the data right now to see how many hopes to jump through to do this.

    Hi,

    Players are the XT1143. No idea on the pixel zone size, or where, but they are open to suggestions. I would assume cross the bottom of the screen on along the side. Its a 55" landscape screen.

    I just got access to the data for London and I am looking at it now. Shouldn't be to bad on my end.

    Once I get more familiar with the data set and have something working as a test, I will let you know, and we can move forward at that point and figure out how best to add to what you already have.

    OK here is a rough start, I have a test project (and associated background image) that you can preview here, should work in BrightAuthor Preview without having to send to an actual player:

    This will have some issues with Platform changes, overnight downtime, etc. right now, until I can look at the data live over a week or so to see how things flow at that station, etc. This is my first time looking at this data set.

    This at least gives you an idea, and you can think about how this might work in different layouts, and what needs to be changed, until I get a better feel for the dynamics of this data.

    I am busy on another off site project for the next week, but I am going to try and work with this a few hours each day.

    Any questions or comments, please let me know.
