Specific scheduling limit

Asked by bernard gauch

I never found the way to schedule a layout for 10mn every hour between 8am and 8:10pm alla along the year. Is it a limit of the software or is it a limit of my understanding of schedule feature?
Thanks to anyone who can solve this case, even with a workaround.

Schedule every hour for 10 minutes, for the year, then schedule a priority
layout(s) between 8:10pm and 8am to override that schedule and mask it out.

Hi Alex, thanks for replying that quick. I understand your solution but scheduling every hour for 10mn for the full year when using the "repeat until date" is freezing the save process (even when scheduling for one month)

Probably need to increase your max execution time

Hi Alex,
I've put 300 as value in the max exec time, but no way.
Saving the schedule in repeat mode over 1 month is freezing.
Here are the main values in my php.ini file:

max_execution_time 300
max_file_uploads 20
max_input_nesting_level 64
max_input_time 120
max_input_vars 1000
memory_limit 128M

mysql.connect_timeout 60

This is the only feature of Xibo that I never could use unfortunately. All the rest is perfect.
Is anyone else facing the same problem?

You're going to be inserting a row for each instance of the schedule so it
will take some time, that said 5 minutes should be ample.

I've just done the same schedule here and it saved in less than three
seconds.

I'm thinking perhaps you have some issue with your database

Thanks so much.
You're probably right regarding the database problem.
I'll make some test on an other machine with another database to confirm it.

Let's close the topic for now.
Thanks for your help
