Videos randomly do not load

Asked by Justin Anders

Hi,

I've encountered a problem with a Xibo layout randomly not displaying videos (and no matter what I try can't seem to figure out the problem). I am using version 1.6.2 with a Windows client with multiple displays.

If I set-up multiple regions with this layout with just photos, it works perfectly. As soon as I add a video to the layout, it often won't initially load or it will play once and not loop. I have it timed with the other regions on my layout.

For example, I'm currently trying to having a .mp4 video take up half of my display and set up the region to 283 seconds long (the length of the video). The photos I add around it don't rotate or anything so I have set them to 283. It will sometimes randomly work (like 1 in 10) just by changing out the photos around it.. the odd thing is that the photos are all saved with the same presets from a Photoshop export (JPEG/GIF, etc).

Any idea what could be causing these problems?

Thanks so much in advance,
Justin

Try setting your photo to 10 seconds and your video to 0.

Can you help with this problem?
