Xibo

Update Media not applying

Asked by Simon Smith

Hi,

I am on XIBO 1.6 and am interested in the update media part of the library but I can't get it to work.

I am logged in as XIBO_ADMIN

When I change the media to a newer version and click download it shows the new media.
When I browse to a layout with the media in it still shows the old one.
When I look in the library folder it shows both the old and new one (with the names of the files replaced as numbers)

I initially tried using web and edit the file and browse to the newer one but that didn't work.
Then I tried to change the newer versions filename and upload it but hat didn't either.

All done via the web, I haven't messed with the files outside the web.

Am I missing a step here? Bit concerned about the files too if newer versions are added to the folders instead of overwriting as I am uploading 5x60mb videos per week to the site.

You need to tick the box that says to replace the existing video in all
layouts at the point you upload the new one in the library.

You will retain both versions of the video in the system however since the
system versions replacement of existing media items

Best wishes

Alex

I have tried that but it doesn't work

You definitely upgraded correctly - ie by deleting the old installation
first and then extracting the new files. Overwriting the old ones won't
work

I did yes, I had a previous bug open regarding fit to size at which time I redid the upgrade from a backup.

I've fixed this in the attached bug - quite a few files I'm afraid.

Sorry I am being dim but where are the files?

You can see the changes to make in each file, or go to that file and download it

I deleted my file and uploaded the new 335 version, added my config back and ran the update but when I go into a schedule event its not listing any layouts or displays. They are there when I click in the layouts and events tabs.

If I click in an existing event then its not showing any layouts or displays either.

I think this is a separate issue now?

I am not precisely sure what steps you are taking to get that result - can you list them out and i will try to recreate the problem for you?

Can you help with this problem?
