howto: change xibo layout designer resolution
by Brian on Apr.12, 2011, under Howto, Xibo
quite a few people have been asking how to increase the resolution or size of the layout designer in xibo, which has a default size of 800×450 (16:9 resolution. media is scaled to the correct res on your display).
the accepted way of changing the designer resolution is to go to Management > Resolutions from within the xibo web interface and edit the resolution that you want. when i tried this, for some reason, it did not work for me. an alternate way of changing the resolution is to edit the database which i will show you how to do below. i assume in this howto that you already have phpmyadmin installed and working.

by Brian on Apr.10, 2011, under Howto, Xibo
some people over at the xibo launchpad page have been asking how to use different media types, or audio/video/image extensions, with their digital signage setup. since this is a pretty easy task, i thought i’d give everyone a quick howto.
