Xibo doesn't support that.

Hi,

convert your favorite music to a video.
Now make a region in your layout with 1x1 pixel. Into this "pixel" fill in your video.

No one can see this "pixel" and your Layout plays music.

HTH!

Hi,

the one pixel way works perfect for me, so try the following steps:

Play the file without Xibo on the client - is the sound working?
Make sure that your Client have BuiltIn Speakers
Make sure that the client is connectet with a audio cabel to the Monitor/TV

For convert video files to mp3, try this link:

When I need bgmusic is use always .avi files.

HTH!
