Xibo freeze on a white screen while playing for hours

Asked by Guillaume

Hi everybody,

(sorry for my english, I'm french ;-) )

I'm using xibo since a short time, and I've made a prototype of totem digital signage.
Xibo have only 1 region, 1080x1920 screen resolution, for playing swf animations.

While using xibo for hours (about 8~10hours), screen become white (stay white about 1 hour), and then xibo crash (error message from windows, xibo needs to be restarted).

Somebody got any idea of what happen?

I'm using:
Windows 7 home premium 64bits
Intel processor G630
4 Go ddr3
nvidia geforce 510
latest version of xibo (1.3.2)

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best regards

I think I'd install the debug build and see if anything is logged in that time when the screen goes white.

Ok, I'll try with debug version, and I'll tell you what will be logged!
I'll be able to do those tests at the beginning of next week.

See you soon!

Hi!
I've tried with debug version 1.2.2, and I've got the same problem.
Here's a portion of the debug file text (portion where the problem appears)

Hi, what does this mean in English? <message>Unable to start media. L’opération a réussi</message>

A little research of my own releaved that it means "the operation was successful"

I have recently fixed an error like this in the 1.3.3 client which will be out shortly - i can send you some binaries to test if you would be interested in doing so?

You can try the client here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/353651/xibo-1.3.3-win32-x86.msi

This is very much a "preview" and not a real release, so there may be other issues you come across.
