Support for the Android client is via Spring Signage as it's not part of the Xibo Open Source project: <email address hidden>

However, the SD card on your device is "shared storage" which is why we need the rights.

You need to put your SD card in before you run the client and then select the appropriate storage location from the options.

Thanks, but I did not understand whether you can run a large video file by copying it to the SD card. Not to load on the internet ?
I would be grateful if you could answer how.
Spring Signage silent.

Windows and Linux clients can play local video files. The Linux client is the only one that supports offline update via USB drive.
