Custom Layout Template

I'm trying to use a custom layout template. I've copied one of the default templates to my web host and no matter what the placeholder gives the error 'The layout file could not be loaded'. The layout file is hosted here: http://www-math.umd.edu/signage/MathDirRSSStyle.html

RSS Doesn't let images show full screen

What is the expected behavior?

Image shows at 1920x1080 when placeholder is set to 1920x1080 and the image is naturally at 1920x1080.

What is the actual behavior?

There is a border around the image and inline styles are being applied that are changing the size.

What steps can be taken to replicate the problem?

Will attach all details with an example of the problem occurring to the card.

Custom font not rendered when Widget configured for horizontal scrolling

How to recreate

• Configure the Widget to use horizontal scrolling by choosing "Scroll" from Transition setting and "Left" from Direction setting
• Apply a custom font to be used for Title, Description, Author, or Timestamp

What happens
The custom font is not rendered, a fallback font is applied instead

What should happen
The custom font is applied

Notes
Custom font is applied correctly for any other Transition state

When a feed has more than 25 stories, only 25 will be shown, regardless of Max Items in Queue

How it works now:

1. Add an RSS Feed to your Presentation that has more than 25 items in it.
2. Notice that regardless of what you set the Max Items in Queue amount to, it will only show 25 stories in the RSS feed, and then start again at the beginning.

This Presentation has RSS feeds in both left and right Placeholders, both set for different values, and both showing RSS feeds that have more than 25 items. Notice how they both only show 25 items.

How it should work
The RSS Widget should show as many stories as are entered in the Max Items in Queue before restarting.

RSS Widget Displaying Incorrect Font

This issue was initially brought up here.

I have replicated his Presentation here: https://apps.risevision.com/editor/workspace/6e22eb84-75d1-42e5-8487-2cbf95a6db68/?cid=4f9e46e5-5e54-40d9-89f1-7559d7068721

Darius states the Presentation is supposed to use the Google Roboto font, but is being rendered as Helvetica or Arial. When I duplicated the Presentation, I was not able to use the control shift period command in the Dev console with success in determining what font was being rendered on the actual display. However, when I previewed the Presentation in my browser, it is showing as Helvetica.

I have attached some images and a doc showing the differences.

This page: http://theunderstatement.com/post/11645166791/roboto-vs-helvetica shows the difference between the two fonts.

Font sizes are in PT no option for PX

RSS Feed brings up the wrong feed in the Widget, and crashes the RSS Feed server when you try to open it.

How it works now:

1. Add RSS Feed A, which is Scores, to the RSS Widget. Notice that it shows RSS Feed B, which is news.
2. Open the Resources / Local Storage in the Dev Console, and delete the riserss key. Refresh the Presentation, and notice that it crashes the RSS Feed server when you reload the Presentation.

FYI @rodrigopavezi This is the bug we were discussing.

Unable to run the widget

Hi,
When to try to run the widget using "widget preview" tool, i'm gettting javascript error preventing the "widget" to load. I'm able to load "settings.html" but none of layout files (layout-1x2.html etc.,) are getting loaded.

Please suggest.

Descriptions with more than 211 characters won't display when scrolling left.

What's happening?
When an RSS widget is configured to scroll left and showing either full description or a description snippet of more than 211, stories with more than 211 characters will not display at all.

What should be happening?
When an RSS widget is configured to scroll left and show a full description, stories of any size should display.

How to recreate

1. Add a Presentation with an RSS Widget placeholder
2. Set the presentation to the Scroll transition in the left direction
3. Add an RSS feed where most of the stories contain a lot of characters (https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss)
4. Select show full description, or show description snippet and input 212 characters.

Additional information
Community thread: https://community.risevision.com/rise_vision_inc/topics/rss-not-loading-properly
Presentation prepared: http://preview.risevision.com/?type=presentation&id=19fc763c-5ffa-48e5-aad8-6c8c488697b6

This Presentation has an RSS Widget setup to display 211 characters, another placeholder setup to display 212 characters, and one final placeholder setup to show the full description. As you can see, only the widget setup for 211 characters is displaying content.

No way to hide the description in the RSS Widget

If you set the number of characters to show in the description snippet to 0 and save, the Widget ignores the setting and shows 120 characters. And there is no other way to hide the description and only show the title.

Request: center image horizontally in 16x9 layout

Would it be possible to have the 16x9 layout center the image horizontally within the div?
Thanks

RSS Widget: Separator adds a trailing Separator

What is the expected behavior?

Setting a nonzero value for Separator adds a Separator the specified number of pixels in size in between RSS stories.

What is the actual behavior?

Setting a nonzero value for Separator adds a Separator the specified number of pixels in size after every RSS story.

What steps can be taken to replicate the problem?

1. Create a small placeholder in a presentation over a white background.
2. Run an RSS widget, I used this feed when testing. http://feeds.reuters.com/news/artsculture
3. Set Stories to 2 per page, some larger number (I used 10) in all.
4. Set Separator to some large value, like 50px.
5. You should see based on the change in color where the separator is that a separator is added after each story, rather than between the stories.

In particular, this causes weird behavior with image scaling. See the two linked presentations.

RSS does not load in RSS Widget

How to recreate
Add the RSS Widget (use the user's link) in the new Editor or RVA. See this presentation.

What happens
'Please wait while your feed is loaded message'.
The RSS feed does not appear in the RSS Widget when added in the new Editor or in RVA. This error appears in the Developer Console:

What should happen
The RSS feed to appear.

Notes
The RSS appears when using the RSS Gadget. To compare use this presentation.

Valid RSS Feed is Showing an Error

###Currently Happening
This RSS feed (https://www.wired.com/feed) passes the W3C validation (https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wired.com%2Ffeed) but shows "The URL provided is not an RSS feed in the widget" and "Sorry, there was a problem with the RSS feed" in Preview.

###What Should Happen
The feed works as expected, no errors are shown.

Note: Once I made a copy of the Widget it started showing again.

No Images for certain RSS feeds

What is the expected behavior?

Images show on an RSS feed

What is the actual behavior?

Images do not show. Though they do show on the classic rss gadget

What steps can be taken to replicate the problem?

Problem can be viewed in this presentation. Same RSS feed (feed validates) but image sonly show on the old rss feed:

https://apps.risevision.com/editor/workspace/7666c89f-9c3b-4785-89ec-bb932312f1a1/?cid=40920f96-9621-4cce-a46e-1b839e5c5688

RSS Widget not displaying full feed

What is the expected behavior?

The RSS widget should display all of the items from the RSS feed.

What is the actual behavior?

The RSS widget doesn't display all of the data from certain RSS feeds such as this one: https://lcu.edu/tvs/php/menu.php?period=Lunch

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add the above RSS feed to an RSS widget and Save + Publish the presentation.
2. Preview or schedule the Presentation to a Display and you'll see that not all of the data from the feed is showing.

RSS-Widget not working in android

Alan gave me a copy of the RSS feed so i can figure out the issue with it not running on Android. From what i can tell, there is something in the widget.js and jquery 2.2.0 that isn't working correctly. So here is what i have done. I downloaded the uncompressed version of 2.2.0 jquery and put it in the JS folder of the widget. http://scottsdigitalsignage.com/widget/RSS/1.0.0/dist/js/jquery.js
Then I ran the widget in a blank presentation. I get an error code on line 2404 in jquery stating length is undefined. From there, i tried to figure out why the widget was using that particular function that has line 2404. I couldn't find anything. It's hard to figure out and i was wondering If a developer could help work on this issue.
Thanks
Scott

If the Feed parser cannot access the RSS feed, no error is reported in the Widget settings

What is the expected behavior?

If the feed cannot be accessed or displayed, the error should be displayed in the Widget Settings.

What is the actual behavior?

Nothing appears in the Widget settings to indicate why the RSS feed will not show, and nothing shows in the Presentation

What steps can be taken to replicate the problem?

1. Add either of the following feeds to a Presentation with the RSS Widget:

• http://tenants.brisbanemarkets.com.au/category/market-bulletins/feed/
• http://news.brisbanemarkets.com.au/feed/

2. Notice that no errors show in the Widget Settings.
3. Save and Preview the Presentation, notice that nothing shows in the Presentation.

The feeds both validate, but cannot be accessed by the parser:

Since the feed is valid, it may be worthwhile to have the error show that our Feed Parser cannot access the feed, or something similar, so the user knows what to do to correct.

Wrong Feed is showing in Placeholder

How it works now:
This issue is similar to #71

In this Presentation, notice that the RSS feed in Placeholder A is not correct. Instead of showing the RSS Feed in Placeholder A, it is showing the RSS Feed from Placeholder B.

How it should work:
The RSS Feed assigned to Placeholder A should show in Placeholder A

This is a test issue.

Steps to recreate

1. Do this
2. Then that
3. Then this

What happens
Bad things

What should happen
Rainbows and ponies.

Increases in ETIMEDOUT and ESOCKETTIMEDOUT errors

Details in this card: https://trello.com/c/acZ9WUQD/7112-investigate-low-reliability-on-rss-widget-1

Summary of a feed is being used instead of the description

How it works now:
Using this Presentation, notice that the summary value of their feed is being used instead of description, however the items from our parser passed to our component contain "description" properties.

Widget not showing images

What's happening?
On some feeds (at least one example) the images are not displaying correctly.

How to recreate

1. Created a RSS widget and used the url http://feeds.feedburner.com/foxnews/latest
2. Tried all layout options
3. The feed was not showing images (screenshot attached)

Expected images like this example RSS reader

Unvalidated Feed works with Gadget, but not Widget.

How it works now:

1. Add this feed to the Widget: http://www.springfieldmo.gov/support/newsflash1.xml
2. Notice that there are no obvious errors in the logs, and the Widget images do not show.
3. Add the same feed to the Gadget, and notice that the images show.

How it should work:
Since the images show in the Gadget, they should show in the Widget.

RSS Widget parses HTML in the description tag but not the content tag

How it works now
As mentioned in this forum discussion, notice that feeds that have a description tag that have a short preview are ignored in favor of the tag. But when using the tag for the feed content, the HTML is not parsed by the RSS widget causing issues with line breaks and other formatting issues. The HTML contents of the tag should be parsed the same as the tag is in the news feed.

Feeds to test with:
"News" feed that has content in tag: https://www.jdsalaw.com/news/?format=rss

"Seminars" feed that has content in tag: https://www.jdsalaw.com/seminars/?format=rss

Page Transition ignores the "Show Each Item for" setting.

How it works now:

1. Add the RSS Widget to your Presentation, use any RSS Feed, for example: http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition.rss.
2. Set the Transition to Page, and the "Show Each Item for" setting to 3 seconds.
3. Preview the Presentation, or play on a Display. Notice that the Widget shows for roughly 10 seconds before moving to the next item.

For further clarification: https://goo.gl/GiVtRw

How it should work:
Regardless of the transition, the item should show for the set duration in the "Show Each Item for" setting.

RSS does not show in Chrome 67 preview

Preview: http://preview.risevision.com/?type=presentation&id=f9b8c29b-8498-49a7-aa7f-89ac20008884

What you should see: https://www.screencast.com/t/HNIvuUlc and what you do see in other chrome versions

RSS widget show feed errors on displays

What is the expected behavior from the user’s point of view?

When an invalid or not found RSS feed is retrieved, the RSS widget is skipped, moving to the next item or left transparent if it is the only item in a playlist.
For greater certainty, I don't see an error message on my display.

What is the actual behavior from the user’s point of view?

When an invalid or not found RSS feed is retrieved, an error message is displayed on the presentation

What steps can be taken to reproduce the actual behavior?

Create a new presentation with a RSS widget, add an invalid RSS url and play on a display.

When Widget is set to horizontal scrolling it will show blank if the Max Items in Queue is over a certain amount.

How it works now:

1. Add the http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss rss feed to the Widget, set it to Scroll Left, and set 15 items in Max Items in Queue. Notice that nothing shows in the Widget in Editor or on the Display.
2. Change the Transition to any other option, and the feed shows.

For further clarification: https://goo.gl/LdJlmn

How it should work:
Regardless of the amount of Max Items in Queue, the content should show in Editor and in the Presentation on a Display.

Incorrect message displayed when feed has no items

How it works now
Using this RSS Feed, notice that the Widget sits on ""please wait while your feed is loaded" instead of saying the feed is empty and moving to the next item in the Playlist.

How it should work
Since this is an empty feed, it should state that, and move to the next Playlist item.

Uptime errors not published to user

The following uptime errors are being reported, but they are not being published to the User:

• E000000058
• E000000059
• E000000061

RSS Widget show &amp instead of just &

How it works now:
The RSS feed http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml is showing "&amp" instead of "&" on the news that contain that character. Right now the 3rd news entry on the RSS has that symbol.

How it should work:
It should just display "&" instead of "&amp"
