Configuration

Your custom app only needs a config.xml to work on Fusion Signage devices. Let's review the format.

The config.xml file​

The config file format is based on the W3C Packaged Web Apps format, although only certain elements are currently supported.

A minimal config.xml file will look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" 
  xmlns:fs="http://www.fusionsignage.com.au/widgets" 
  id="your_unique_id" 
  version="0.0.1" 
  fs:duration="30"
  width="1920" 
  height="1080">
    <!-- The name of your custom app -->
    <name>My Custom Application</name>    
    <!-- The start page for the application -->
    <content src="index.html" />
</widget>
