Xibo

Layout Preview don´t work

Asked by Stefan

Hi,

i have a problem with my xibo.
I created a layout and send it to a display without a problem.

But if I try to klick layout preview in CMS only shows a xibo picture and layout loading and the a black picture with a red frame.

Why?

The Layout contains 2 videofiles and nothing else.

Please help!

You'll have to wait for the video files to download completely before the
layout will start. If your video files are very large you may need to
increase your php maximum execution time to allow for the download time

Hi,

I have a 150 Mbit/s Line and files are not so large.
30 MB.

php maximum execution 250 Sec.

It seems to be a bug! :-(

black screen, red frame, some seconds later "repeate?"

Can you check it if I give you access to my test xibo?

Only H264 MP4 and webm videos can play in a web browser. You're sure your
videos are compatible? If they aren't then you will get an empty region
where the video should be because the browser can't render the video.

Its mp4. So the browser should show it!?

Can you take a look in to my xibo?

Perhaps you can integrate vlc plugin support to preview so every file can previewd!?

I'm not going to look at your CMS. I know the feature works with videos
that are compatible. MP4 can contain many video formats. It needs to be an
H264 encoded MP4 and your browser needs support for that codec and bitrate.
HTML5 video is the way the Web is going. There's no point in integrating
legacy plugin based solutions in new code
