play until last image

Asked by Carlos Costa

hello

I have a presentation to play all day, and I have another presentation with 10 images (the duration of the images are different at all), I would play until the end of all images.

Do I have to count all durations and schedule then?

Or is there an easier way?

Thank you

A layout will always play all the way through unless it drops out of the
schedule window while it is playing. If you want a layout to play through
exactly once, then you are a bit stuck - Xibo isn't really designed for
this.

I am totally confused :) - what does a transparent background have to do with playing a layout only once?

Layout background can't be transparent, but region background are always transparent by default.

hello,

i will try to explain better.

1 - I have a presentation that defined by default, this playing all the time.

2 - Then I have another that I just want you to play only once per hour. (This presentation has several images with different durations)

3 - What really wish was that when I called the second presentation is touched to the last picture and then would leave. (Without having to schedule, because otherwise we'd be counting total duration of this presentation).

if possible, fantastic ..

if not

the other solution was:

in the second presentation i introduced a EMBED blank transparent, with duration of one hour, with all images. but the background of the second presentation need to be transparent, to make possible to see the presentation 1, when the EMBED was active.

did you understand now?

Thank you for your attention

How about scheduling your layout that plays all the time and the scheduling
your other layout for roughly the length it is going to take.

We unfortunately don't have a "once per hour" scheduling mode and I believe
that would require some client side changes to achieve.

Please feel free to submit a blueprint for it.

Thanks,
Dan

        <script type='text/javascript'> function init() { $('#text').xiboRender({ type: 'text', direction: 'none', duration: 0, durationIsPerItem: false, numItems: 0, width: 1554, height: 755, originalWidth: 1554, originalHeight: 755, scrollSpeed: 30, fitText: false, scaleText: true, scaleFactor: 1 }); } </script><style type='text/css'>body { background-color:#000000 ; }

THIS IS THE LINE THAT IM TALKING ABOUT

Great! :-)

Please don't edit the XLF file directly - the chances of that causing an issue are rather high! :-)
