Xibo
Xibo is a digital signage platform for designing content, scheduling playback and managing displays remotely. Its CMS handles layouts, playlists, media schedules, date- and time-based schedules, and recurring schedules. Supported content includes images, video, audio, PDFs, PowerPoint, HTML packages, webpages, text, and RSS or ticker feeds. Operators can group displays, request screenshots, review player status logs, and control screen power and parameters. Xibo offers custom user roles and an open OAuth2 JSON API. Listed connections include Canva, Pixabay, an SSP connector, and a dashboards service; some connectors need an API key. The platform can run through managed cloud hosting or on customer servers. Self-hosting means the customer maintains the web and database infrastructure, backups, maintenance, and CMS upgrades. The free 14-day trial costs nothing, includes a cloud-hosted Professional CMS and two players, and provides best-effort help desk support. The free Windows open-source player is licensed under AGPLv3 or later. Xibo is based in Hove, England, and describes its solutions as serving small to medium size businesses.
