multi layouts not running back to back in campaigns in 1.4.1

Asked by Mike H

Every layout runs fine in a simple layout... back to back in the Schedule. However when I place them into a campaign and then Schedule the campaigns only the first layout in the campaigns list plays and repeats. Currently I have only two layouts in the campaign.

The media for both layouts showed loaded in the inventory on the player
Thanks
Mike

I have not update to 1.4.2 server side yet. I'm looking at the log file and it shows all the layout and media files loaded. I think this back to the bug where in the Scheduler when you overlay multi layouts at the same time. It will not play one overlay and then the next overlay below it.

The bug I linked is server side. You need to upgrade the server.

I don't see the problem you're reporting, so we'll need to know what's on the information screen

Which level of information should I post (audit/info/error) from the player? I should send this to <email address hidden> with this Launchpad #? Should I attach screen shoots of the campaign and schedule?
Thanks

While gathering all the information need to email to xibo. I found the error of my ways. I did not take into account that every overlay area has a time set. I had a static image that was on all my layouts design. The time for the area was set to 84600 sec while the other area where set to 120 sec. Thanks for all your help. The campaigns are working correctly. The issue was with the operator.
great product!

Added note to watch for at least in my case. I made an "enbeded webpage" in active area in a layout. I had many videos with a yahoo weather RSS feed has the last item in the active area. The active area was the "longest" duration area in the layout. The problem I had was in a campaign or multi over layout schedule. The layout with the enbedded webpage would stick. and just repeat the same layout till the cows can home.
